Father God, may each of these children that I care about know today that you love them. May they know the measures that you took to allow them to be close to you. May they hear what Jesus went through on the first Good Friday and understand that it was done for them. May we model sacrificial love for them, but may we point them to the one who gave it all and loves them far more than we possible can. Draw them to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.
May they understand their need for forgiveness and accept your gift of forgiveness and cleansing and fresh starts. May they grow up knowing how to repent and start anew. May they come back to the cross time and time again, knowing your sacrifice and loving you for it.
Draw them, Lord Jesus, draw them to you.
