Blessing for parents for their children

Most Heavenly Father, I commit my children to your holy providence. Mercifully supply whatever is lacking in me through frailty or negligence. Strengthen my children to overcome the corruptions of the world and deliver them from the secret snares of the enemy. May they daily grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and so, faithfully serving you in this life, come to rejoice forever with you in heaven. Amen.
