11 Prayers You Can Pray For Your Children (For God to Always Be with Them)

Beloved Father, my dear child is in Your hands. Bless him and protect him from all evil. Deliver him from the attacks of the enemy and from those who seek to harm him. I ask that he may feel Your presence at all times and know that he can turn to You for help and protection. Thank You for never abandoning him.

Guard him from accidents and serious illnesses. May Your angels surround him always and deliver him from all harm. Thank You because we can trust in Your power. Your Word says that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1). Help my child to remain under Your shadow, clinging to You at all times. May he never forget that in You he has refuge, care, and protection.

Grant my child much wisdom and discernment. Help him to choose his friends wisely and to make good decisions in all areas of his life. Give him the strength and determination needed to stand firm amid temptations. May he never yield to the traps of the evil one and always remain steadfast in You. May his deepest desire be to please You and live within Your will.

Lord, also guard our child's emotions. When the devil puts doubts about his worth as a human being or makes him question Your design for his life, may our child stand firm, finding refuge in You and in Your Word. May he always remember how loved and valuable he is to You and to our family.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Only You know and fully understand what is happening in her heart. I ask that You remove any spirit of confusion that prevents her from remembering Your great love for her and that she is Your wonderful creation. Lord, lift the dark cloud of depression and despair that seeks to take hold of her.

Help her to remember that she belongs to You, that You love her unconditionally, and that You have wonderful things in store for her life. Break the work of the evil one that tries to blind her to the reality of Your love for her and the purpose You have for his life.

Help him remember how much You love him and the great sacrifice of love You made for his salvation.

You are always waiting for his return with Your arms of love extended.

Bring healing to his heart and soul. May he leave behind what has separated him from You and reach out his hand toward You. May my beloved child realize how much he needs You. May his eyes and heart be opened so that he can see and recognize that everything he longs for or seeks can be found in You. Heal any disillusionment caused by sad or unpleasant experiences with acquaintances or people from the church.

Oh Lord, Your Word says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:6-7. Lord, we pray that our child is not anxious about anything as they navigate daily activities that may involve stress, peer pressure, exams, and tests. Lord we pray that You give them the grace to go through all changes in their lives without any fear and anxiety.

Lord we pray that they turn to You and lift up all their troubles and issues to You, knowing that You are the Prince of Peace and that You will guard their hearts and minds. We pray that they will not harm themselves in any way coming under any pressure. That they will build their faith in You, knowing that You have their back. We pray Lord for Your wisdom to fill our child so that they will be able to cast all their burdens unto You knowing fully well that You care for them. We make this prayer in the name of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Heavenly Father, we cry out to You to fill our child with Your Holy Spirit so that they will avoid all temptations from the evil one and keep themselves pure. Lord in today’s times, our child has 24*7 access to the world wide web getting them entangled in things that do not please you. Lord, we pray that they be sanctified: that they should avoid sexual immorality; that each of them should learn to control their bodies in a way that is holy and honorable.

We pray for Your grace Lord over their lives, that they be filled with Your spirit – that they are able to filter and avoid such temptations and traps of the evil one. Protect them and may the Holy Spirit keep them safe from all evil, enabling them to remain pure and undefiled for Your glory. We make this prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Lord, we lift up our hands to You, pleading that our child be obedient. Lord it is Your command to children along with a promise that they should obey their parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honoring their father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise - so that it may go well with them and that they may enjoy long life on the earth.

We pray Lord, that our child is obedient not only to their parents but also to authorities in school and colleges. We pray that they respect authority and are not defiant. We pray they honor their parents, so it will be well with them all their days. Lord we pray for Your protection upon our child’s life and we pray that You remove any rebellious spirits and nature from them. We pray that they change their ways and be obedient and in doing so, will find favor in sight of their earthly parents and Heavenly Father.

We make this prayer in the name of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
