Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Psalm 127:3
READ: Matthew 19: 13-15
13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
PRAYERS:
- Thank God and praise His holy name for the gift of children across the world. Thank and praise Him also for all unborn children.
- Father, I pray for the salvation of my children and every other child around me.
- Father, teach all our children Yourself and let them all enjoy great peace as You have promised in Your word (Isaiah 54:13).
- Father, I commit my children and all other children around me into Your care; do not permit the enemy to harm them.
- Lord, I separate my children and every other child around me from bad friends and evil influences forever.
- Father, put an end to every ungodly trend in my family and never let such come near my children.
- Father, please preserve the purity of my children and every other child around me. Keep them far from the perverseness, corruption and pollution in the world today.
- Father, like You started to use Samuel at a tender age, use my children and every other child within my sphere of influence for signs and wonders.
- Father, do not permit any sickness or disease to come near my children and every other child around me.
- Father, let the future of my children and every other child around me be great.
- Lord, open the wombs of everyone trusting You for children and cause them to become fruitful in the mighty name of Jesus.
- Special prayer request for your children.
I join my faith with yours and pray that the Lord will grant all your requests in the mighty name of Jesus.

HYMN 6: GOD GIVE US CHRISTIAN HOMES.
- God give us Christian homes!
Homes where the Bible is loved and taught,
Homes where the Master’s will is sought,
Homes crowned with beauty Your love has wrought;
God give us Christian homes;
God give us Christian homes! - God give us Christian homes!
Homes where the father is true and strong,
Homes that are free from the blight of wrong,
Homes that are joyous with love and song;
God give us Christian homes;
God give us Christian homes! - God give us Christian homes!
Homes where the mother, in caring quest,
Strives to show others Your way is best,
Homes where the Lord is an honored guest;
God give us Christian homes;
God give us Christian homes! - God give us Christian homes!
Homes where the children are led to know
Christ in His beauty who loves them so,
Homes where the altar fires burn and glow;
God give us Christian homes;
God give us Christian homes!
