Prayers that Guarantee God’s Blessings, Favor, and Protection Over Your Children
Excerpted from Breakthrough Prayers for Moms.
The Good Life
Father, as I train up my children according to Your ways, I believe that they will dedicate themselves to You. They won’t know every- thing the future holds for them, but they will know it is in Your hands. They will take paths you have prepared ahead of time—living the good life that You prearranged and made ready for them. They will trust You to lead them and be their Guide for life.
Lord, I trust You to prepare my children now for Your plans for them. Give them the wisdom to discern the right timing for what You would have them do in each season of life. Open their eyes to see and appreciate the gifts, talents, and skills that can be developed into a career that brings glory to You.
If college is in their future, help them select the right one and provide the means for them to go. Give them understanding so they are quick to learn. Inspire them and help them in everything they do. If they choose to marry someday, thank You for preparing them and also their future spouse. Until that time comes, help them to be content in life.
Father, I believe You will plant vision in their hearts and teach them to depend upon You for provision. Instruct and teach them which way to go. You have promised to make a clear path as they put You first. As my children read, meditate, and apply Your Word, their ways will become prosperous. They will deal wisely and have good success. I believe my children will treasure their life with and for You. Thank You, Father, for holding my children’s future in the palm of Your hand. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Surely Goodness and Mercy
Father, thank You that only goodness and tender love pursue my children all the days of their lives. I thank You that they will be faithful to all that we have taught them. They will not let mercy and truth forsake them. They will never drift off course from these two goals for their lives—to walk in wisdom and to discover their purpose.
As they grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, they shall be filled to the full with the love of God and the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith- fulness, gentleness and self-control. I pray that my children may walk in the way of goodness and keep to the paths of righteousness. I bind their feet to the way of goodness and the paths of righteousness, in the name of my King and my Lord, Jesus.
