Guardian Angel Prayers for Children
Prayer is the most vital part of any child's religious or spiritual training. As your youngster grows and matures, her prayer practice must change as well in order to remain relevant in her life. Young children often feel closer to guardian angels than older children, teens and adults. They are already accustomed to short, easy-to-recite nursery rhymes learned in school. When your children's guardian angel prayers are just as easy to remember and recite, they will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Good Night My Guardian Angel
-
Children easily relate to guardian angels. Good night, my Guardian Angel,
The day has sped away;
Well spent or ill, its story Is written down for aye.
And now, of God's kind Providence,
Thou image pure and bright,
Watch over me while I'm sleeping.
My Angel dear, good night!
Angel Blessing at Bedtime
-
Understanding why children consider guardian angels to be their friends is easy. Angels bless and angels keep.
Angels guard me while I sleep.
Bless my heart and bless my home.
Bless my spirit as I roam.
Guide and guard me through the night.

Child's Prayer for Protection
-
Children of all ages can relate to guardian angels. Angel of God, my Guardian dear,
To whom God's love commits me here;
Ever this day, be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide.
Four Corner Prayer
-
Guardian angels protect, guide and keep watch. Four corners to my bed,
Four angels round my head,
One to watch and two to pray
And one to bear my soul away,
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
Bless the bed that I lie on.
