Praying from Matthew 18:6. Themes: Judgment, Responsibility, Protection

Dear Lord, please help us to always be mindful of the impact our actions have on those around us, especially the little ones who believe in you. May we never cause them to stumble or lead them astray. And if we do, please forgive us and guide us to make things right. Help us to be a positive influence and example for them, leading them closer to you. Amen.

Verse: but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
Matthew 18:6

This is a Command: to not cause harm or lead astray those who believe in Jesus. The consequence for doing so is severe punishment.
