����Parents Prayer

O heavenly Father, make me a better parent. Teach me
to understand my children, to listen patiently to what
they have to say and to answer their questions kindly.

Keep me from interrupting or contradicting.

Help me to be as courteous to them as I want them to
be to me.

Forbid that I should ever laugh at their mistakes or
resort to shame or ridicule.

May I never punish them out of anger or spite or to
show my power.

Help me, dear Lord, to demonstrate by all that I say
and do that honesty does produce happiness.

Reduce, dear Lord, the meanness in me. And when I am
out of sorts, help me to hold my tongue.

May I be ever mindful that my children are merely
children and that I should not expect them to have the
maturity and judgment of adults.

Let me not rob them of the opportunity to do things for
themselves or to make their own decisions.

Help me to grant them all reasonable requests and give
me the courage to deny them the privileges that I think
may be harmful.

Help me to be fair and just and kind, O Lord, so that I
will earn their love and respect and they will want to
imitate me. This is the supreme compliment.

Amen
