Leading with Wisdom Prayer
Lord, be with our children as they take every step towards the future. Keep them sure-footed and concrete in their beliefs. Please don’t let anything or anyone stand in between You and their hearts.

Admiration and Love Prayer
Lord, please let my children be looked upon with admiration and love. I want the world to see Jesus living in the souls and hearts of each one of my babies as they grow.

Provide them with many talents so that Your life is glorified through them. In Your name, I pray. Amen.
Soul on Fire Prayer
Wonderful God, I ask that You bless the future of each one of my children. Allow each one to celebrate with You, cry to You, and rejoice in You.

Make their efforts always be credited to the glory of You and keep them close to Your side. In Jesus’s name, I ask these things. Amen.
Hope and Security Prayer
God, bless each of our children in Your own perfect way. Allow each one of their separate personalities to develop to its potential and be there as a shining beacon to always keep them on the right track. Bless their future with hope and security, but make sure they know those things always come from You. Keep their heads filled with thoughts of goodness and grace and show them they are never alone. In Your name, I pray. Amen.
Comfort and Contentment Prayer
Precious Lord, be with our children as they soar towards their future selves. Keep them steady in Your teachings, never let them be led away from You, and give them comfort and contentment in their daily lives. Bless them with safety, wisdom, and success. Show them when to talk and when to listen, encourage them to pick their friends wisely, and overwhelm them with Your love. These things I ask for our children, in Your name. Amen.

Sweet Father, hold my children tightly every second of every day. Wrap them in Your never-ending love and keep them safely walking down the Christian path.

Lord, keep them grounded so they can become a knowledgeable and upright Christian adult. In Jesus’s name, I pray. Amen.
Courage and Wisdom Prayer
Lord in Heaven, place your hands on the hearts of my children and keep them healthy, safe, and faithful. As they become older, allow them to prosper and not suffer. Give them the courage to fight fear and arm them with wisdom so negative circumstances will have no power over their lives. Bless their actions, keep them living for You, and remind them daily that our job on Earth is to work towards our life in heaven. Keep their eternal future a focus point in their thoughts. In Your Son’s name, I pray. Amen.
