I realized as I saw something in one of my prescious children that I did not like, that I was not consistantly praying for them as I have in previous years. So, I am back upon the promises of God, trusting Jesus to do for their hearts what I long for them to experience. I found a simple list of Bible promises on line, then wrote my own prayer in for these verses. Hope it is a blessing to you.
Isaiah 54:13 All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children.
I might pray, “Lord Jesus, you have promised your people that all our children shall be taught by the Lord. Please do this! Please reveal yourself to all my children and grandchildren and descendants and bring each one into peace with you through your blood.” Consider using these promises as you pray for your children:
Isaiah 8:18 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are [a]signs and wonders [that are to take place] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, Who dwells on Mount Zion.
So I pray for a lifestyle of miracles! That God would do miracles every day in my life, and in the lives of my children!
Isaiah 59:21 “And as for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD: “My Spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children’s offspring,” says the LORD, “from this time forth and forevermore.”
Father, I thank you for Your covenant with me and my family. Thank you for placing Holy Spirit within and your anointing upon us, that we might speak Your words as oracles of heaven, today, and forever.
Psalms 102:28 The children of your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you.
Thank you Jesus for peace that passes understanding, and protection from heaven. That we are secure in who we are in You, and protected from all evil in the earth.
Psalms 112:1-2 Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments! 2 His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed
Praise you Father! We love you and thank you for strength and courage to serve you victoriously, that we might be mighty in the land! May we continually seek and walk in purity, walking uprightly as we experience Your blessing.
Isaiah 44:3-5 For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. 4 They shall spring up among the grass like willows by flowing streams. 5 This one will say, ‘I am the LORD’s,’ another will call on the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’ and name himself by the name of Israel.
Again, we hunger and thirst for righteousness, for living waters from heaven, the presence of Holy Spirit poured out upon us, Your blessing upon our family, that we might spring up as flowers after a rain. May we boldly declare we belong to Jesus, declaring Your name always, and Your salvation to the ends of the earth.
Isaiah 61:8-9 …I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9 Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants in the midst of the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are an offspring the LORD has blessed.
Thank you Father for your covenant with me, my family, my children that gives us favor not only here in our community, but among the nations of the earth. That people may see us serving You faithfully and say: ‘These people are blessed of God!”
Isaiah 65:23 They shall not labor in vain or bear children for calamity, for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the LORD, and their descendants with them.
Thank you Father that You bless the works of our hands. It is not in vain, nor will our children experience tragedy or calamity, for You bless, protect and guide us for Your great names sake.
Proverbs 20:7 The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him.
By Your grace, I will seek You daily Father, and walk in integrity and truth. As I do this, I believe You bless my children after me.
Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.
Father, You are Holy! May we fear, respect, and obey You only! Deliver us from the fear of man, that we forever find refuge in You, boldness that comes from walking in Your promises.
Jeremiah 32:39 I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their own good and the good of their children after them.
Work in our family to walk together in You. One heart, one way, that we might fear and respect you forever, for our own good and the good of children after us.
Deuteronomy 4:40 Therefore you shall keep his statutes and his commandments, which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time.
I believe that as we DO your statutes and commandments commanded us, that it goes well with us and our children, that we might experience long, healthy, joyful life in this land you God have given us for all time.
Acts 16:31-33 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.
Father, this promise is forever established before Your throne. I have believed on the Lord Jesus, and all of my family are saved, and will spend eternity with me in heaven.
Prayer for prodigal children
Jer 31:
16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
Father, we commit our children to You, and ask that you honor the love and ministry that have been given to them, We deliberately trust you to do for them what we cannot, and to bring them again from the hand of the enemy, to fully serve you Jesus in the high and holy calling upon their lives.
