Every night I would pray the exact same words for Megan.
"Thank you, Jesus, for my Megan.
Give her a good night's sleep and protect her tonight.
Help her to not be afraid
And to always know that You are with her.
In Your Name, Amen."
I was always afraid that Megan would need something and not be able to tell me about it or that she would be afraid and I wouldn't know it.
Monica's prayer was:
"Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Let angels watch me through the night.
Until I wake with morning light."
(And then she could add anything else on her mind too)
Last night Monica and I were praying and Megan's prayer came to my head as it has almost every night since she's been gone. Monica and I prayed:
"Thank you, Jesus, for today.
Give us a good night's sleep and protect us tonight.
Help us to not be afraid
And to always know that You are with us.
And give Meggie a kiss for us too.
In Your Name, Amen."

Very sweet Lori, I miss her too.
I still pray for Marie most every night too... Megan's prayer is beautiful, in so few words you put everything needing said there:) Thank you for sharing it.
You are such a great mom, Lori. Thank you for sharing with your girls our Lord and Savior. He is our protector and our healer. I am glad that Monica is learning that too.
Mom
