We Pray for Our Child

We pray for our child to lead a life
rich in the teachings of the Bible.

We pray that our child grows into adulthood
with a strong sense of sprituality and grace.

We pray that our child will always call on Christ
in prayers of thanks and prayers for peace.

We pray that our child always enriches
the lives of people s/he meets and
never leaves anyone sad.

We pray for our child.

Prayer for Peace

O Great Spirit of our Ancestors,
I raise my pipe to you,
to your messengers the four winds,
and to Mother Earth who provides for your children.

Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love,
to respect, and to be kind to each other
so that they may grow with peace in mind.
Let us learn to share all the good things
that you provide for us on this Earth.

Prayer to Heal the Pain of Infertility

Dear Lord, the pain of infertility is so deep.
All of our lives, we dream of being mothers,
of raising children with loving hearts
to do your will on this earth.

Month after month when that
dream does not come true, it so painful, Lord.
We feel like our dreams die each
month with empty arms.

Please guide us to trust in your plan for us.
We desperately need you in our lives.
Thank you for all the blessings we do have,
knowing through you all things are possible.
Amen

Prayer for Forgiveness

I grant forgiveness to all living beings
May all the living beings please forgive me.
I have friendship with all the living beings.
I have no hostility towards anyone.
