Prayer for Raising Our Children
Dear
Heavenly Father, thank you for our sons and daughters, we ask for wisdom, as we
seek your strength in raising them, knowing the truth of your word.
Help us that
we never hold them too tightly to ourselves or develop an attitude of parental
selfishness, but help us to equip them to become strong and independent men of
God; walking in a positive attitude of responsibility, wisdom and faithfulness
to you father as they continue to grow older and take up their own positions in
this world.
I pray that
you will continue to nourish their hearts and minds with your word and holy
spirit in times of stress or uncertainty in their lives; for them to be
receptive to the wisdom of your holy words. Father continue to anoint them with
wisdom, courage, prudence and great insight of the events to come, that they
may discern between right and wrong.
Father we
ask that you place in our sons and daughters a desire to pursue wisdom and
understanding of your word, that only comes from above and to have the patience
and courage to obey and teach it. Prevent them from being wise in their own
eyes, but grow to fear you and shun evil. LORD we commit our sons and daughters
into your hands to keep and nourish them in your spirit and protection.
We love them
dearly father, yet we know that Your love for our sons and daughters far exceed
the love that we could ever have, we pray that you keep them under the shadow
of your protective wings; may Your holy spirit lead them and guide them into
ALL truth and may they grow in Your grace and mature in the faith of Christ. We
ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Amen
