God made me!
Thank you, God, for making me ME. Thank you for eyes that see your world, for ears that hear the things you have made, a nose so I can smell my dinner cooking and a mouth to praise you! Thank you for fingers and toes and for loving me, just the way I am. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

O Lord God, how great you are! When I look at the sky and the moon and the stars, I feel very tiny and I don’t understand why you care about me. O Lord God, how great you are!

Asking prayers Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, every day (night) be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen

Loving Father, you made everyone in the world. You made us different shapes, sizes and colours. You made us to love each other and you made us to be your friends. Help us to love you just as you love us. 9
Prayers for today For the sun rise in the morning when the world is new and bright, for the moon and stars in the dark sky when I go to sleep at night, thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord.
