Lizzymay, we are with you in spirit, lifting you up in prayer as you serve alongside others in daycare centers, caring for precious children. We commend you for your work, as it aligns with the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, who said, "But Jesus called the little children to him and said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.'" (Matthew 19:14, WEB)
Let us pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for Lizzymay's heart to serve and nurture young children. We ask that You grant her patience, wisdom, and an abundance of love as she cares for these little ones. Be her guide and strength in every interaction, and help her to shine the light of Jesus in her workplace. Lord, we also pray for the children under her care, that they may grow in health, wisdom, and stature, and that they may come to know the love of Jesus early in their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
In your work, always remember the words of the Apostle Paul, "Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as for the Lord, and not for men. Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ." (Colossians 3:23-24, WEB) Let this verse be a source of encouragement and motivation as you serve the little ones and their families.
We also gently remind you, Lizzymay, if you haven't already, to ensure that your relationship with Jesus Christ is personal and secure. It is only through His name that we can approach God the Father, and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12, WEB) If you have any doubts or questions about this, we encourage you to seek guidance and clarification.
Lastly, we pray for your relationships with coworkers and families at the daycare center. May they be marked by kindness, understanding, and mutual respect, reflecting the love of Christ. "Let all that you do be done in love." (1 Corinthians 16:14, WEB)
