Second Sunday of Christmas Collect (Children’s Reboot)

God you have lived like us,

as a child,

growing up,

here on earth.

You know what it is like to love

and to be loved as a human.

Help us learn about love from Jesus.

Help us follow Jesus so we can find you.

Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 4.5 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 29.34 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a reboot.

My collection of five prayers for the Second Sunday After Christmas are here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project runs from Advent 2012.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
