For the days that just didn't go well.
It was a hard day
God, today was really hard. Thank you for listening. Please heal what got broken today. Give me a fresh start tomorrow. Amen.
When I feel sad
Jesus, I'm sad. I know you're close to sad people. Please sit with me tonight. Amen.
When I got in trouble
Father, I messed up today. Please forgive me. Help me try again tomorrow with your help. Amen.
Verse to remember
“Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”
— 1 Peter 5:7
Parent tip
Let your child pray honestly, even if it's short. God prefers real over polished.
