Children's prayer of intercession

It can be hard to be inclusive in a church service when you want to offer up prayers of intercession but you also still have young children in with you. To help I've written a prayer that is easy for children to listen to and for all to say amen to... 

Thank you Lord for this day,

Thank you Lord that we can stay

Here in church to worship you

And give thanks for all you do.

Thank you Lord that we give money

To help others, to feel sunny.

Help us know where to spend it,

Help us know where to send it

And now we want to intercede

For those we know who are in need,

Lift them up Lord, show them love,

Help them Lord to look above…

all the problems and hurts they’re feeling

may they feel the touch of your healing

In the world, Lord please bring peace

Where there is fighting may it cease.

Where there is hunger, please bring food

Where there is weakness, strength renewed.

If someone nearby is in need

If they’re captive and need to be freed

Show us how we can help them,

Lead us in ways that will support them.

And hold our families in your hands,
As we follow Your commands.
Lord, show us the things we need to do,

Things that make You shout YAHOOO

Thank you  for helping us with the above

Most of all, thank you for Your love.

Amen
