Read

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

(Matthew 19:14)

Pray

Dear God,

You are the loving and compassionate Father who desires for all children to come to You. Your word in this verse reminds us that the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these, and encourages us to come to You with childlike faith and trust. I pray that You would help us to have hearts like children, full of innocence, humility, and unwavering faith. May we be reminded of the purity and simplicity of a child’s heart, and may we come to You with open hearts and open minds, ready to receive Your love and guidance.

Please bless all the children in the world and protect them from harm and suffering. May they experience Your presence and feel Your love in their lives. Help us to be mindful of Your call to love and care for the little ones, and to be a source of hope and encouragement for them. Thank You for the privilege of coming to You in prayer, and for the promise of Your kingdom for those who come to You with childlike faith.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
