I prayed the same prayer as a child. At the end I would say God bless mommy and daddy and run through a long list of family members. At the end I would say “and God bless everyone in the whole wide world.

My childhood prayer was exactly like yours and adding God bless.. family members. I can still say it. I love the prayer from the NZ prayer book. Thank you for writing about topics that remind me of my life experiences.

Thank you, Jeanne. Love the prayer from New Zealand. My childhood prayers were very similar to yours. Later on, I learned so much more about praying, prayers and the benefits at Saint George’s, Germantown, TN. 🙏💕

I needed the reminder of the golden rule and to know that God loves us all, so must I. Thank you.

I have ALWAYS loved that prayer.”What’s done is done…” permission to let go in my mind…

Now I lay me down to sleep - also THE prayer of my childhood. As usual, your blog has scurried me into memories of my own life. Today I thank God for everyone who attended a protest rally which I am no longer able to do physically.
