Prayer for His Love for the Word
Gracious Lord, Your Word has been a constant source of comfort and guidance for me. I am asking for You to instill within my baby boy a love for Your Holy Word. I pray that he will have an insatiable appetite for Your Word and the ability to proclaim it graciously. Lead him, Lord, to seek all the answers he will ever need from You and Your Word. Grant me the help I need to teach him in Your ways. Amen.

Prayer for His Mind
All-Powerful Father, I pray that You would protect my baby boy’s mind from the lies and the deception of the enemy and the empty philosophies of this world. I ask for the mind of Christ to be given to him. Lord, please help him to keep his mind fixed on You and Your will for his life. Amen.

Prayer for His Identity

Please help him to not be swayed by the opinions of others but to remain steadfast and loyal to You as he learns to see his worth as Your child. Amen.

This is my desire Lord, and I surrender Him into Your hands. Amen.

Prayer for a Teachable Heart
Precious Lord, due to our propensity for pride, it is easy to walk through life with a hard heart that is not open to instruction.

For this reason, I humbly request that You please give my baby boy a teachable heart. Please give him a heart that is pliable and yields easily to Your instruction.  Amen.

Prayer for Humility
Father God, the world often sees pride as an admirable trait. I know that pride is deplorable to You.

Please fill him with humbleness that draws people to You through him. Amen.

Prayer for His Witness
Lord and Savior, I am so grateful for the sacrifice of Christ which provided the way for my salvation. Because I know there are many living apart from You, Lord, I pray that You would prepare my baby boy to be a beacon that points the lost and hurting of this world to You. I ask that You use him to lead others to You for their salvation. Prepare his heart and mind with all he needs now so that as he grows, he will be drawn to You. Let him be a shining light of the love of Christ. Amen.

Prayer for a Love of the Truth
Lord God of all truth, in our world today, truth is so ambiguous. Your Word tells me that the day will come when many will turn away from the truth. I pray that You would keep my baby boy near to You during his life.  Protect him so that he holds Your Word close to him and follows Your teachings. May he be a warrior for Your truth in love. Amen.

Prayer for Freedom from Love of Money
Most precious Lord, in our world today there is so much emphasis placed on wealth and possessions. As my baby boy grows up in the midst of this world’s insatiable appetite for money and things, I pray that you would keep him free from the love of money. Money is not evil, but the love of it is a sin. I pray that Your love will guide him away from materialism so that he will understand what is truly important in life. Amen.

Prayer for Freedom from Lust
Loving Father, men in this world today are continually bombarded with the temptation of lust. I fear this will only get worse as my baby boy gets older. I know that lust in all forms has torn families apart. I am asking, Lord, that You keep my son free of lust. Please keep him away from temptation, with his eyes firmly planted on You for the strength to act as a good Christian man should. Amen.

Prayer for Spiritual Eyes
Gracious God, as I pray over my baby boy, I am reminded that we are living in a spiritual world as well as a physical one. You gave spiritual eyes to Elisha’s servant so he could see the vast spiritual army which You provided to protect Your children. There are times when we need to walk by faith, and times when we need a little insight into the spiritual arena. For this reason, I pray that You would give my baby boy the spiritual eyes he will need to navigate the seen and unseen in this world. Amen.

Prayer for His Faithfulness
Faithful Father, we are easily distracted and led astray by temptations that end up separating us from You. I ask, Lord, that You would not let my baby boy get distracted and become distanced from You. Please keep him safe. Help him remember and follow my teachings, and Your teachings. Chase after him when he strays, so that he will never be unfaithful to You. Amen.

Prayer for His Holiness
Blessed Lord, I know that You detest wickedness. I am asking You, Lord, to keep my baby boy from entering onto the path of wickedness. Though he is small now, Lord, one day he will grow up and have to walk on his own in this world. I entrust him to You and ask that You lead him away from sin and immorality. Please place a hunger within him to be pleasing in Your sight. Amen.

Prayer for His Reverence
Gracious Savior, Your Word tells me that the fear of the Lord is the necessary foundation for obtaining knowledge. I pray, Lord, that You please help my baby boy have a healthy reverence for You, not just to obtain knowledge but to be pleasing in Your sight. I ask that You lead him to have a reverence that results in him experiencing the amazing depths of knowledge and deep understanding of who You are. Amen.

Prayer for a Thankful Attitude
Precious giving Lord, it is very easy for us to go through our lives and forget to thank You for all that You have done for us. I pray that my baby boy will grow up and always honor You with his possessions, thoughts and actions. I pray he will have a faithful heart to tithe to You and support Your amazing work in this world. Help him realize that all he has and all he is comes from You. Amen.

Prayer for Strength
Powerful Lord, Your Word tells me as the day of Your return draws closer that this world will be filled with even more evil. I know not what lies ahead for my baby boy, but You do. I pray, Lord, that You would grant him the strength to run the race to the very end. I pray that he finishes well no matter what the world throws at him. I also request that You always provide the strength he needs to face his trials. Bless my baby boy, Lord, and let him feel Your presence. Amen.
