Heavenly Father, the Perfect Parent, the Giver of Life, the Shepherd Who tends His flock with love and wisdom – raise up godly parents, guardians, and mentors who will instruct children in their care in Your ways. Strengthen homes with the foundation of Christ.
O Heavenly Father, the Eternal Source of Life, the Loving Shepherd Who gathers His lambs in His arms, the Watchful Guardian Who never abandons His own, the Everlasting Guardian, the Shield of the innocent, the Keeper of Israel Who neither slumbers nor sleeps, I lift before You the children of this generation—those whom You have fearfully and wonderfully made.
