Great and mighty and
awesome God,
keeping covenant and
steadfast love,
your words are
trustworthy and true.
It is not your will
that one little one
should be lost; but
many are hungry
or suffer abuse or
illness or warfare.
God, accept our
prayer for your little
ones; protect them,
provide for them,
keep them always in
your loving care.
