Protect them...the children of this world!

Tonight I find myself thinking about life. Sitting with a 9 year old on her bed reading the scriptures before she closed her eyes to sleep I found myself in a deep conversation about life and the Gospel and she told me to blink. “Kristal blink… This the amount of time you spend in this life, just imagine how long you will spend in heaven!” That moment was priceless. A tear formed in my eye and I looked away so I could wipe it clean. She has a tendency to cry if I cry. So I hid it. If this life truly is but a blinking of an eye then I promise you… each and every one of you I will spend that moment the best I know how. Soon after I tucked her in and said goodnight I came across this:


"A PROPHET'S PRAYER"


O God, our Eternal Father, as Thy servant I bow before Thee in prayer in behalf of these young people scattered over the earth who are gathered tonight in assemblies everywhere. Please smile with favor upon them. Please listen to them as they lift their voices in prayer unto Thee. Please lead them gently by the hand in the direction they should follow.


Please help them to walk in paths of truth and righteousness and keep them from the evils of the world. Bless them that they shall be happy at times and serious at times, that they may enjoy life and drink of its fullness. Bless them that they may walk acceptably before Thee as Thy cherished sons and daughters. Each is Thy child with the capacity to do great and noble things. Keep them on the high road that leads to achievement. Save them from the mistakes that could destroy them. If they have erred, forgive their trespasses and lead them back to ways of peace and progress. For these blessings I humbly pray with gratitude for them and invoke Thy blessings upon them with love and affection, in the name of Him who carries the burdens of our sins, even the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.


President Gordon B. Hinckley, 12 November 2000


Tonight I find myself thinking about life., aww yes this glorious life.
