Prayers, Blessings And Devotions For Pagan Kids

[Theresa]

I live in the Bible-belt and I don't want my kids to feel left out when there is a 5 mins. of silence or a time for silent prayer.

I also want even the youngest to participate when we have family get togethers and such.

So, I've written some easy to remember things for them to use - until they feel confident enough to write their own.

Love, Theresa

A bedtime prayer by Kitty Delger

Now I lay me down to rest.

I pray that all the world be blest.

Lady Moon and Sister Star

Watch over me from afar.

Mother Earth is always there

And keeps me safe within her care.

The Lord of Dreams will dance and sing

And happy dreams will to me bring.

And when I wake to greet the day

Brother Sun will light my way.

Heres one I say for my kids at the dinner table:

Bless this food upon our plate

that we're about to masticate.
