When
children suffer because their parents have separated When parents separate or divorce, children are often
very depressed, sometimes confused and burdened by conflicting feelings. Some children feel that they have
to support the parent they live with and are then in danger of
sacrificing their childhood, with damaging effects on their own later
partnership. Some children feel that they have
to take sides in the conflict between their parents and end up in a
problematic fight against one parent. Some children are internally torn between affection
and dislike towards a parent who behaves problematically during the
separation phase (or even later). Some children also get into violent conflicts with
their siblings because of their parents’ conflicts. The prayer below can protect children from such
problematic behavior patterns and from emotional confusion. |

Prayer of children whose parents have separated Dear God, my dad and my mom
have separated (my dad has separated from my mom or: my mom has
separated from my dad) This is very sad for us children. But we children are related to mom and dad by blood, we got our lives from both of them and both live on in each of us children. That's why dad is our real dad forever and mom is forever our real mom. Dear God, help me, that I let mom and dad live in me in the right way, that I keep in me the valuable and good things from both
of them and that I am willing to learn from their mistakes for my life. Dear God, look after my mom and my dad, help them to be well, that they treat each other well and fairly, Help them, that they can be there for us children in the right way, that they can always give us what we need to grow up and that we become loving, honest and self-confident people. Help us so that we can always respect mom and dad as the two people who have given us life on your behalf. Keep us from interfering in the quarrels of mom and dad, but help them both to always find grown-up people who will help them when they are not feeling well, when they experience great worries or disappointments or quarrels. Dear God, look with love on mom and dad and on each of us children and accompany the path of each one of us with your blessing. Amen.

It would be
useful to hang this prayer in a nice format with the separate photos of
father and mother in the children's rooms and invite the children to pray
this prayer regularly for some time. If you have the
opportunity, you could create a small family tree with the photos of the
family members and add it to the prayer or hang it up next to the prayer. |
