We join with you in lifting up your children to the Lord, and we appreciate your heartfelt prayer. Let us remind you of the words of Jesus, For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them, in Matthew 18:20. It is so important to pray in the name of Jesus, as it is written in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up these precious children to You. We ask, Lord, that You watch over them, guide them, and protect them in all they do. May no evil or harm come to them, but may they walk in Your light and truth all the days of their lives.
Father, we pray that they will do well in school, making good choices and being surrounded by positive influences. Help them to grow in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man, just as Jesus did in Luke 2:52.
Let them know, deep in their hearts, that they are loved by You, Lord. May they experience Your presence with them always, guiding their steps and showing them Your great love.
We pray that they will grow up to be happy and blessed, and that they will raise their own children to know and love You. May they be a godly influence on the next generation, teaching them the ways of the Lord. As it is written in Proverbs 22:6, Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Lord, we ask that You hold their hands every step of the way, showing them the light and pouring out Your love upon them.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying fervently for your children, and to train them up in the ways of the Lord. Remember the words of the apostle Paul in Ephesians 6:4, Fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
May the Lord bless you and your family, and may He grant your children His richest blessings.
