Prayer For Teenager
Jesus, I ask that you dispatch angels to stand guard around them. Consecrate the ground they walk on with your Holiness.
Silence the voices of your enemy, so my children and teens may see, hear, and know your love (Ephesians 3:19).
Keep your enemy far from them (Luke 10:19-20/John 17:15).
Holy Father, thank You that reverence of You is the beginning of true knowledge. Teach me wisdom and discipline in all aspects of my life. Make me successful in my studies, in my relationships with others, and in my future. Help me to do what is just, right and fair. Give me insight and discernment. Help me to listen and to learn from the correction and instruction of my parents, my spiritual leaders, and my teachers. Amen.
Dear God,
Please be my buddy,
Hang about with me.
In the classroom, bedroom, park,
A friend I know you'll be.
When I'm lonely,
Put your arm around me just to say,
That you still believe in me,
Each and every day.
Be my friend, I'm in your gang
'Cos Jesus you are cool.
Show me how to be like you,
I'd rather play your rules.
Listen to my music
And drum along with me,
Give me new ideas and dreams
Then help me to find my beat.
You are ace, you're top deck
You're brill and class and new.
Life is an adventure
'Cos I live it God with you.

Father, forgive me for mistakes made out of my own unresolved hurts or selfishness, which may have caused __________ hurt. I release the anointing that is upon Jesus to bind up and heal our (parents' and child's) broken hearts.

Thank You for the Holy Spirit Who leads us into all truth and corrects erroneous perceptions about past or present situations.
Thank You for teaching us to listen to each other and giving __________ an ear that hears admonition, for then he/she will be called wise. I affirm that I will speak excellent and princely things and the opening of my lips shall be for right things. Father, I commit to train and teach __________ in the way that he/she is to go, and when __________ is old he/she will not depart from sound doctrine and teaching, but will follow it all the days of his/her life.

Father, according to Your Word we have been given the ministry of reconciliation, and I release this ministry and the word of reconciliation into this family situation. I refuse to provoke or irritate or fret my child; I will not be hard on him/her lest he/she becomes discouraged, feeling inferior and frustrated. I will not break his/her spirit, in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Father, I forgive my child for the wrongs he/she has done and stand in the gap until he/she comes to his/her senses and escapes out of the snare of the enemy (rebellion). Thank You for watching over Your Word to perform it, turning and reconciling the heart of the rebellious child to the parents and the hearts of the parents to the child. Thank You for bringing my child back into a healthy relationship with You and with me that our lives might glorify You! Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, I pray my teen's eyes would be opened for the plan you have for them, even if it's just a few steps. I pray they would start to see the direction of their life and the truth that they do have a purpose. I ask for Godly people to come and speak life into them in that particular area. May You send Godly mentors to help oversee them in the place You have set aside for them. I cancel any assignments from the enemy against their purpose, life, present, and future.
Lord Jesus Christ, I ask for wisdom in my teen's situation. You have eyes where I don't and know that which I don't. I pray for significant details, information to be revealed that has been hidden, and for people to come forward who have been silenced. Lead me where I should go and speak to those who may know more so I can start the restoration process for my teen.
Lord Jesus Christ, I lift up my teen to You and ask for Your Holy cleansing over their life. If there is anything within them that is not of You, I ask that You come in and cleanse them from all powers and principalities, anything said against them, any doorways that have been opened to be shut, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.
