Prayer For Our Kids
Lord, there is so much hurt in this world, and so much of it begins with our words! What we say to others has the power to give life or kill! May my child understand the value of hope-filled words! May they be kinder to those around them, especially the ones that are outcasts and forgotten. May You give them words of compassion to speak to others. May they know what great power that words have! Right now, I pray Proverbs 12:18 over my child which says, There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. May my child's tongue's wise words bring healing. Refrain their lips from speaking rash and hurtful words towards others. Amen
Dear God, I pray that my child's heart will be softened towards the Gospel. There is nothing that saves but Jesus! You call Your children to Yourself by Your love. May Your love draw them even today! May they have a heart of compassion for lost souls. John 14:6 says that Jesus is the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus. You love my child even more than I do, and I thank You for that!
Father, give my child pure thoughts. More specifically, as Your Word exhorts in Philippians 4:8-9, pursue their minds to think on what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and praise worthy! Help them to practice these things daily so that Your perfect peace will control them.
When our children fall apart, let us move towards them rather than walling them out. When our spouses are distracted and tired, let us listen well. When our friends are hurting or distracted, let us ask good questions that draw them closer to you. When we're tired and hurt, may we express our needs but always come to you first, confident that you parent us well. Amen
Lord, I pray that the message of Christ and his sacrifice is the root of gratitude in my heart. That His gracious gift leads me to thankful living, setting an example for my family and children. That they will have their own relationship with Jesus one day, and that You would grow gratitude in their hearts out of the acceptance of Jesus as their Savior. Lead us to do everything in the name of Jesus and give thanks to You through Him.
Lord, help us to be thankful for one another. Help my children to be thankful for each other, for our family to be grateful for each member and to pray one another continually. Our gratitude for one another will bind us together as a family, and our prayers for each other will further unify us in gratitude and love.
Lord we thank you for your protection and favor. As we sit in your presence and focus our hearts on you may you give us your perfect peace. May we trust that no matter what, you will guide us, protect us and be gracious toward us.
Lord our hearts desire is to live in harmony and unity with each other. Bind your love to our hearts so we can live in perfect unity together. Teach us to care for our family members and forgive others for their mistakes.
