The Rt Revd John Pritchard, former Bishop of Oxford, once wrote a prayer for National Parents Week. It has much to offer at any time and you may like to use this for both personal and wider use:-
Gracious God,
Thank you for the privilege and pleasure of children,
Thank you for what they represent for both the present and the future
and what they give us as they explore life and make their discoveries.
Help us to slow down, to pause and make a moment,
Help us to share their world and enjoy their wonder.
Help us to walk at their speed, and find that it’s your speed,
And so lead us together into life and joy,
In the company of your son,
Jesus Christ, our Lord,
Amen.
