The following prayer is paraphrased from Solomon’s prayer for guidance (I Kings 3:6-9):
Dear God, You have shown mercy to our parents by giving them descendants in us who live today. And now You have made us parents: yet we are but children who do not know how to go out or come in. And now we are given the care of Your children whom You have loved from eternity. Give us therefore understanding hearts to judge them and discern between good and evil. For who shall be able to judge Your children, whom You have created so wonderfully?
