Heavenly Father, I thank You for the precious gift of children. I come before You with gratitude for the little ones in my life. I ask for Your blessings and protection over them.
Lord, I pray for these babies and toddlers. May they grow in health, strength, and wisdom. I pray that You would watch over them, keeping them safe from harm. Surround them with Your love, grace, and guidance.
As they learn and explore the world around them, may they encounter Your truth and goodness. Grant them understanding and a heart that seeks after You. Help them to grow in wisdom and in favor with You and with others.
I also pray for their parents and caregivers. Grant them patience, wisdom, and strength as they care for and guide these little ones. May they be filled with Your love and grace, demonstrating it to their children in their words and actions.
Lord, may these children come to know You at a young age and walk in Your ways. May they experience the joy and peace that come from a relationship with You. Use them to bring glory to Your name and to make a positive impact on the world around them.
I commit these babies and toddlers into Your loving hands. Thank You for Your faithfulness and the blessings You pour out upon them. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
