Prayer to Live as a Child of God

Father in Heaven,

when the Spirit came down upon Jesus

at His Baptism in the Jordan,

You revealed Him as Your own Beloved Son.

Keep me, Your child,

born of water and the Spirit,

faithful to my calling.

May I, who share in Your Life

as Your child through Baptism,

follow in Christ's path of service to people.

Let me become one in His Sacrifice

and hear His Word with faith.

May I live as Your child,

following the example of Jesus.
