Prayer For Rebellious Children
Father, in the Name of Jesus, I praise You and thank You that You are a good God. Thank You that You love me, and that You love my son/daughter. Father, I thank You for giving me the honor and privilege of being _____'s parent. You knew him/her before he/she was born. You knit my child together in the womb, and You had great plans for his/her life before it had even begun.
Lord, You know the trials that I have faced in watching my child go against Your Word, making poor and damaging choices. I ask today that You heal my heart and renew my strength to stand for my child in Jesus' Name.
Your Word says You will pour out Your Spirit upon my offspring and Your blessing upon my descendants. So, I declare by faith that my child hears the voice of Your Spirit and the voice of strangers my child will not follow.
Father, right now, I repent of any rebellion in my own life, and I ask You to forgive me and show me any areas where rebellion exists, so that I can root it out of my life forever with Your supernatural help.
I know that the spirit of rebellion is a demonic spirit and has no right and no place in my child. So, by the authority You have given me, through Christ Jesus, I command every wrong spirit, including the spirit of rebellion, to leave my child right now in the Name of Jesus'. No weapon formed against ______ will prosper, I send angels to take charge over my child, I plead the blood of Jesus over _____, and I declare Psalm 91 protection over him/her. I break every stronghold right now in Jesus' Name.
Satan, you cannot have my child! I resist you! Now go!
Lord, I know it is Your will for _______ to come into the family of God, to love You, serve You, and find peace, joy and happiness all the days of his/her life. I thank You for lifting the veil from my child's eyes, for convicting __________, that his/her faith will not fail him/her, and bringing him/her to a broad place.
I thank You and praise You that he/she will come home from the distant land of the enemy and return to You.
In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Dear Lord, please help my children as they learn and grow. Please grant them an eternal perspective that helps them to see beyond the here and now.

And, if and when they fall, please grant me the peace and wisdom to help them get back up. Thank you for the blessing of children, Lord. In the name of your son Jesus I pray, Amen.
Heavenly Father, We trust that you are a good good father toward your children even though we couldn't understand all the sufferings among and around us. There are mysteries that we as fallen beings could not comprehend; yet your love has been shown fully through Jesus and the cross. You loved the world so much that you sent your one and only son to bear our sins and burdens. We are not alone because you, Jesus, suffered, too; yet you did not sin at all (unlike us forgive us!). You are not ignorant of pain, sorrow, loneliness, misunderstanding, isolation, denial or any kind of discomfortbecause you walked through all and more. So we look upon to you for comfort, healing, restoration, justice, hope, and all the heavenly gifts and blessings that you have been granting to us everyday of our lives. Among our sufferings, we want to declare again to ourselves and to the world that you are the caring creator of the whole earth, the loving and kind father, the eternal covenant and promise keeper, the ultimate ruler of all the time and human historyeach nation, people, tongue and individual souls. We are your people and children, and we put all of our trust and hope in you alone, forever and ever. Amen!

Help me, Lord Jesus, not to be rebellious and stubborn and self-willed, like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which have to be turned about by bit and bridle, and even then they kick against the goads and the pricks and the conviction of Thy Holy Spirit! (Psa.32:9) Help me, Lord, to surrender my ALL to You! You said, Whosoever shall fall upon this Stone shall be BROKEN. (Mat.21:44) So help me to truly fall upon YOU, to cast my ALL upon You, Jesus, so that You can break and remake me into the vessel YOU want me to be for Your glory!
