Reflection ~ Confirmation

Please keep in mind our Year 6 Candidates making Confirmation this coming Sunday as you say this prayer...

 

Loving God,

 

You are the giver of all we possess,

 

the source of all of our blessings.

 

We thank and praise you.

 

Thank you for the gift of our children.

 

Help us to set boundaries for them,

 

and yet encourage them to explore.

 

Give us the strength and courage to treat

 

each day as a fresh start.

 

 

May our children come to know you, the one true God,

 

and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

 

 

May your Holy Spirit help them to grow

 

in faith, hope, and love,

 

so they may know peace, truth, and goodness.

 

 

May their ears hear your voice.

 

May their eyes see your presence in all things.

 

May their lips proclaim your word.

 

May their hearts be your dwelling place.

 

May their hands do works of charity.

 

May their feet walk in the way of Jesus Christ,

 

your Son and our Lord.

 

Amen.
