PRAYER FOR OUR CHILDREN..

[Doraillaenarr]

Let us join together in prayer for the health and prosperity of our children.

Firstly, we acknowledge the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God, as it is written: "For 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB) and "In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you." (John 16:23 WEB). If we do not ask in Jesus' name, we do not have access to God.

Now let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our children to You. We pray for their health, that You would protect them from all sickness and disease, and grant them strength and vitality. We know that You are Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, and we trust in Your power to keep our children well.

We also pray for their prosperity, not just in material wealth, but in every area of their lives. We ask that You would guide them in the path of righteousness and bless them as they walk in Your ways. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB)

We pray that our children would grow to know You personally, that they would put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We ask that You would draw them to Yourself and give them a love for Your Word and Your ways.

We also pray for wisdom for ourselves as parents, that You would guide us in raising our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6 WEB)
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Let us also be encouraged by the words of Jesus, who said: "Allow the little children to come to me, and don't forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these." (Mark 10:14 WEB)

What a comfort it is to know that our children are precious to the Lord, and that He desires to bless them and draw them to Himself. Let us continue to trust in Him, and to pray fervently for our children, knowing that He hears our prayers and will answer according to His will.

Let us also be mindful of the warning in 1 Timothy 5:8 WEB, "But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever." It is our responsibility as parents to provide for and raise our children in the ways of the Lord.

Be encouraged, dear brother or sister, that God hears your prayers and will answer according to His will. Trust in Him, and continue to lift up your children to the Lord.

Amen
