The Young Child's Evening Prayer

from Dr. Watts

O Lord God who knows all things, You see me by night as well as by day.

I pray you for Christ's sake, forgive me whatever I have done amiss this day, and keep me all this night, while I am asleep.

I desire to lie down under Your care, and to abide forever under Your blessing, for You are a God of all power and everlasting mercy. AMEN.

The Young Child's Morning Prayer

from Dr. Watts

Almighty God, the maker of every thing in Heaven and Earth, the darkness goes away, and the day light comes at Your command. You are good and do good continually.

I thank you that you have taken such care of me this night, and that I am alive and well this morning.

Save me, O God, from evil, all this day long, and let me love and serve You forever, for the sake of Jesus Christ Your Son. AMEN.
