A Prayer for your Children

Heavenly Father,

Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. Thank you that I can trust in all you promise, you are faithful in all you do. I pray that you would keep our children in step with you, that they would not become distracted or tempted by those who choose to live as they please, those who do not consider their ways, those who’s actions are filled with their own desires that seek to please and satisfy their own needs, removing you from their very thoughts.

Please watch over our children and gently guide them to safety under your wings. I pray that our children would learn to fear you with a reverent heart. Direct them in your ways so that they would desire to serve you.

I pray that our children would delight in your words and carry them in their heart and mind each day, meditating on them.

I pray that your words would flourish within our children, like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in season, and whose leaf does not wither – but, whatever they do prospers. I pray that our children would have forgiving hearts, in the same way you forgive us when we acknowledge our sin to you and confess our wrong doings. Thank you for your everlasting love, your grace and your mercy.

In Jesus name, Amen.

I pray that you will be blessed and that God’s word would grow deep within your hearts and minds as you listen and are encouraged. This prayer is a prayer for you to pray for your children, it is a prayer that I have written and taken scripture from psalms, including psalm 145 and psalm 2.
