Prayer for Children
". . .Thou seest these children who are the twigs of the tree of life, the birds of the meads of salvation, the pearl of the ocean of Thy grace, the roses of the garden of Thy guidance. . ." - Baha'i Prayer
Baha'i Prayer
O God! Refresh and gladden my spirit. Purify my heart. Illumine my powers. I lay all my affairs in Thy hand. Thou art my Guide and my Refuge. I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being. O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life.
O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord. - 'Abdu'l-Bahá
(Compilations, Baha'i Prayers, p. 150)

Here are a few links where you can find Baha'i Prayers:
Devotional prayers may be offered in the believer's own words. In addition, there is a large corpus of devotional prayers written by the the central figures of the Bahá'í Faith (the Bab, Baha’u’llah, and Abdu’l-Baha), which are used extensively by Bahá'ís in their devotional life. These prayers, encompassing many topics that include healing, spiritual qualities, tests and difficulties, parents, children, and are held in high esteem. The specific words are believed by many Bahá'ís to have special power. Group reading from prayer books is a common feature of Bahá'í gatherings. Commonly, Bahá'ís gather informally in each other's homes to read prayers in events known as devotionals. Participants in a devotional gathering take turns reading aloud from a prayer book, while the others listen in reverent silence.

"Baha'is view the family as the nucleus of human society and family life as the primary place to develop values and capacities essential to the betterment of society. The moral and spiritual education of children assumes vital importance in a world where the joy and innocence of childhood can so easily be overwhelmed by materialism.
The Baha'i ideal is a family life that cultivates a loving and respectful relationship between parents and children and promotes the principles of consultation and harmony in decision making.
The teachings emphasize the importance of the education of women and girls, both for their own advancement and because it is through educated mothers that the benefits of knowledge can be most effectively and rapidly diffused throughout society.
Ultimately, the air is for children to increasingly grow up free from all forms of prejudices, recognizing the oneness of humanity and appreciating the innate dignity and nobility of every human being. Baha'u'llah called on us to regard one another as "the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch." Inspired by this vision, Baha'is partner with their neighbors, friends, and colleagues to create programs for the spiritual education of children."

"The purpose of God in creating man had been, and will ever be, to enable him to know his Creator and to attain His Presence."
"Immerse yourselves in the Ocean of My words, that ye may unravel its secrets, and discover all the pearl of wisdom that lie hid in its depths."
"Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created."
"Know thou of a truth that the soul, after its separation from the body, will continue to progress until it attaineth the presence of God, in a state and condition which neither the revolution of ages and centuries, nor the changes and chances of this world, can alter. It will endure as long as the Kingdom of God, His sovereignty, His dominion and power will endure. It will manifest the signs of God and His attributes, and will reveal His loving kindness and bounty"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Prophet Founder of the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah (the Glory of God) wrote over 100 volumes of Spiritual Writings to guide the affairs of humankind for the next 1000 years.

Baha'is reside in more than 100,000 localities around the world, an expansion that reflects their dedication to the ideal of world citizenship."

ONE UNFOLDING RELIGION
"The religions of the world have been founded by successive Manifestations of God. Each religion originates with God and is suited to the age and place in which it is revealed. In essence, the religion of God is one and is progressively unfolding."
"There is only one God, the Creator of the universe. Throughout history, God has revealed Himself to humanity through a series of divine Messengers- each of whom has founded a great religion. The Messengers have included Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. This succession of divine Teachers reflects a single historic "plan of God" for educating humanity about the Creator and for cultivating the spiritual, intellectual, and moral capacities of the human race. The goal has been to prepare the way for a single, global, and ever-advancing civilization. Knowledge of God's will for humanity in the modern age was revealed just over 100 years ago by Baha'u'llah, who is the latest of these divine Messengers."
- Excerpts from "The Baha'i's", a publication of the Baha'i International Community
