Powerful prayers for children.

I have three sons. I have really made it a point to pray for them consistently and intentionally. I used to only pray for them when I’m worried or battling fear. Since they were kids, I would go into their rooms at night, and pray over them while they are sleeping. Before, I head to bed I go into each of their rooms, and pray God’s word over them. I lay every concern at the Lord’s feet, and feel His peace wash over me. 

Recently, my son went to college and that has really increased my prayer life. These verses have really guided me in the ups & downs of parenting my children the best I can. 

It is so powerful to pray God’s word in any situation, including our kids lives and futures. I truly believe I am only where I am at in life, because of the prayers of my parents. Even when I made bad choices, and my life could of gone down hill, each and every one of their prayers was answered and fulfilled.

I am sharing some powerful prayers that I have personally prayed over my kids that I hope will guide you, and encourage you to start doing the same. Let’s watch God work!

Lord, strengthen them to stand up against temptation. Help, them to see Satan’s hand in it, and be able to fight it.

7.

Lord, Please give him a heart for justice. That he would stand up for what is right. That he would never stand in the background or be scared to be bold. Let him be strong in the things that bring you glory. Give him courage in this world, to love you and your heart more than the approval of others. –Isaiah 1:17

Lord, please provide everything he needs all the days of his life. Guide him and give him favor with jobs and providing income.

Please keep him from poverty and give him wisdom in his finances.-Philippians 4:19


I hope these prayers will help you, your children, and bring you peace. God dearly loves each one of them, and I believe He will answer each one of our prayers that we lift up to Him. Have faith and trust in Him!

This was Beautiful! As believers, we have to remember that our children don’t belong to us. God blessed us to have them, but ultimately they belong to him. You are an Amazing Mom and I thank God for willingness to teach others of His ways.
