MEMORY WORK
Oh, help me, Lord, this day to be Thy own dear child to follow Thee. And lead me Savior by Thy hand until I reach the heavenly land. Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for this day. Now before we leave we pray, watch over us and those we love with Your protection from above. Keep us always in your sight and give us all a peaceful night. Amen.
Note: Your child may recite the above prayers on any given morning of the week. He/she may do one or both prayers at a time.
