Bedtime prayer for children

A simple, short prayer for parents to say with their children at bedtime, with easy lines to repeat.

Father in heaven, thank you for this day. Thank you for my home, my family and my friends. Thank you for the food, the games and everything I learned today.

If I did something wrong, please forgive me. If I made someone sad, help me say sorry tomorrow.

Take care of Mom and Dad while they sleep. Take care of my grandparents, my brothers and sisters and the people I love. Take care of the children who have no home and the ones who are sick.

Take the fear out of my room and fill it with peace. Send your angels to stay close to my bed. Give me a good sleep and good dreams.

Tomorrow I will wake up and thank you again. I love you, God. Amen.

For parents: read one line at a time and let the child repeat it. Over time they will finish the lines on their own. A short verse to close: "In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep" (Psalm 4:8).
