Prayer Over Our Children

Do you pray like I do for your child? Hoping and asking the Lord to guide their growth and hear our cries on their behalf? Please join me in praying Scripture over our children by reading a chapter a day from a book of the Bible.
​
​My prayer for you, as it is for me, is that you and your children's lives will be transformed, touched and knit together by the power of the Holy Spirit.  ~ Marjorie Wingert, walking by faith and not by sight


"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31)

“One who pays attention to the Word will find good, and blessed is one who trusts in the Lord.”  Proverbs 16:20, (NASV)
 
Oh Lord, may my children commit their plans to You. Help them find success for You work all things out to Your end. I pray they will not be prideful but fear You. In turn, cover them by Your atoning love and faithfulness. May they be pleasing unto You, oh God, even living peacefully among their enemies. Determine their steps and plot their course as You fill their lips with justice and truth. In the same way, I pray You will establish them through righteousness. Shine Your favor upon them, oh God, blessing them with life and wisdom. Oh Lord, may they choose understanding over silver and wisdom over gold, avoiding evil and guarding their ways. Set them upon the highway of uprightness while You keep them from pride and a haughty spirit. Oh Father, I plead they will prosper from wise council and be blessed through their trust in You. Yet give them understanding as their fountain of life, wise words to guide their mouths, and lips which promote instruction. IN the same way, make their words pleasant as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones as You protect them from scoundrels, perverse men, gossips, and violent people. OH Lord, may You bless the length of their days with a crown of honor through righteousness, patience, and self-control, casting every decision before You.

“One who walks with wise people will be wise, but a companion of fools will suffer harm.” Proverbs 13:20, (NASV)
 
Oh Lord, as a parent, help my children listen to my words of instruction. Likewise, may You also guard the words they speak. Instill within them a diligent and satisfying work ethic which prospers and undergirds them with truthfulness and integrity. Oh Lord, I pray riches will not ransom their lives. But let righteousness shine brightly in them through their humility and acceptance of counsel. Father God, please give them wisdom with their finances while they learn to respect the commands of others. Reward them with the fountain of life, I plead. Bless them with good understanding which wins favor and reflects prudence. In the same way, make them heed correction while You surround them with wise company, rewarding them with prosperity and righteousness. I pray they will leave an eternal inheritance for their children’s children which transcends generations and lasts throughout the span of time. In turn, please bless me with wisdom and understanding in parenting while You help me use tender discipline to show my children love.

“When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.” Proverbs 10:25, (NASV)

Dear Lord, store wisdom in their hearts, and let it overflow with good judgement as choice silver and nourishment. In the same way, teach them to hold their tongues and to heed discipline.

“For one who finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord.” Proverbs 8:35, (NASV)
 
Let my children hear wisdom’s call and the voice of understanding. In turn, help them heed prudence and wisdom, speaking only words which are right, true, and just. I pray they will choose Your instruction and knowledge over silver and gold. Likewise, may they also treasure wisdom above jewels, desiring it above all other things. Bless them, oh God, with knowledge and discretion mixed with wisdom and prudence. Yet, let them loathe evil, pride, arrogance, wicked behavior, and perverse speech. Instead, grant them council and sound judgement with wisdom and power. Oh Lord, when they seek You, let them find You. With Your riches and honor, bless them with enduring wealth and righteousness for Your fruit is finer than gold and yields more than silver. I plead with You, oh Lord, may they walk in the way of righteousness along paths of justice. Bestow upon my children wealth, oh God, and make their treasuries full.

​Oh Lord, fashion and appoint my children after You, who made the heavens, secured the fountains of the deep, and set the boundaries between the land and sea, marking out the foundations of the earth. Fill them with delight every day and let them rejoice in Your presence. Yet help them keep Your ways and listen to Your instructions so they may receive Your blessings of wisdom. In the same way, may my children wait daily at Your door and watch for You so they may find life and receive favor.

 “Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,’ and call understanding your intimate friend.” Proverbs 7:4, (NASV)
 
Oh Lord, keep Your commandments stored in my children’s hearts so they may live by Your ways. May they guard Your teachings as the apple of their eye, writing them on their hearts and binding them on their fingers. In the same way, make wisdom and understanding a close relative, keeping them away from lust, seduction, and adultery. Ground them deep in good judgement while You grant them wisdom and strength to flee temptation. Yet do not let them stray or turn aside so they do not descend to death.
