Parents Prayers for Their Children: 7 Requests to God

In the Bible we read “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.” (Psalm 127:3) Children are one of the biggest ministries you will ever have. Our precious little ones are a gift from God and we should be in prayer for them daily. Here are 7 prayers that you can pray for your kids.

Salvation

Heavenly Father,

You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. I pray that You watch over my children and use me as a vessel to showcase the love of Christ to them. I pray for their salvation, Lord. I pray that You will draw them to You so that they can understand how deep Your love is for them. Give me time every day with them, Father.

Give me time where I can read the Bible with them and pray with them. Lord, I want them to know You I know You. It breaks my heart to know that some kids I see will reject you as they grow older, Lord. Please let it not be so with mine! I pray that they will continue to walk with You as they grow older.

I love You, Father! Amen

Health

Gracious Father,

I pray for my child today. He/she is struggling with the medications the doctors gave us. Lord, the side effects are almost as bad as the sickness. It hurts to see him/her in agony. Father, You have the power to heal anything by just thinking it.

If it is Your will, please heal my son/daughter. I want nothing more than my child to be happy and running around with their friends in the back yard again. Please, Father, hear my prayer and petition now. I love you, Lord! May Your will be done this day.

Amen

School

Dear Lord,

Thank you for another day of life with my kids. I pray that You will watch over them as they are in school today. Give them a safe journey to and from school on the bus. I pray that You will keep me safe everywhere I go, as well.

Bring me home safe to my children. I pray that You will empower my kids to stand boldly for You as they encounter sin and depravity in school.

I pray that the joy they have for Jesus will shine bright today! Thank you for my children, Father! I love them and I love You! Amen

Choices

“Lord, I pray that they fight against peer-pressure and stay away from drugs.”

Holy Father,

My teenagers are in one of the most difficult times in their lives. I pray that they will stand up for what they believe in, Lord. I pray that the Holy Spirit will convict them on every decision they make, so that they make good choices.

Lord, I pray that they fight against peer-pressure and stay away from drugs. Lord, I pray that you watch over them and guide them safely today. I pray my kids can learn the value suffering for the sake of Christ. I pray that they make decisions today their faith in You.

Thank you for my kids, Lord! Amen

Purity

Merciful Lord,

I pray for the purity of my children. Lord, all of the hormonal changes are good because they are from You. I pray that my kids will stay strong and wait until marriage before enjoying the blessings of the bedroom.

I pray that they abstain from all sexual situations so they stay healthy too. So many diseases are being spread because of bad decisions today. Lord, only You know what they will choose and I pray that they will choose wisely.

I praise You for my kids, Father! Amen

Their Calling

Amazing Lord,

I pray that my children will heed the calling You have set for them. I pray that they will follow where You lead, Father, whether it is in missions, music or the post office.

I pray that they will do everything whole-heartedly for You, so that You can be glorified. I pray that they will find their strength in You daily as they spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to whoever they come in contact with.

Let Your will be done in their future calling, Father. Amen

Future Families

Wonderful Father,

I pray for the future spouses of my kids. I pray that You will provide my son with a Proverbs 31 woman and I pray that You provide my daughter with a man who is completely devoted to You that will love her and cherish her all of her days.

I pray for Your sovereignty in this, Lord, that my kids can start families of their own someday. I pray for a love for them, Lord, as in the Song of Solomon. I pray that my kids will cleave to their future spouses and look to You for guidance as they journey through marriage together.

You are so good to us all, Father, and I pray for Your blessings on my children. Amen

Conclusion

There are many things to pray about when it comes to our kids. Salvation is the most important thing that we can pray about for them. I encourage you to pray that your kids will love Jesus all of their days. Heaven is way too wonderful to miss out on. To be in the presence of God for eternity will be amazing! God bless you as you live a life worthy of the calling!

Jamie Rohrbaugh
2017Apr 18

Have you been concerned about your family lately? So often, we remember to pray for other people, but we forget to pray for ourselves and for those closest to us.

We simply forget the power of prayer and that God longs for us to be in prayer with Him! He especially desires for each of us to be in prayer about our family, the people closest to us on this side of heaven.

To help you pray for yourself and for your family, here is a short, bullet-point seven-day prayer guide that covers nearly every aspect of life.
