Prayers For My Babies

A friend shared this prayer guide with me months ago (thanks again, Elizabeth) and I just love it. I couldn't agree with its prayer points more. It really helps me offer exact words to the Lord for my babies regarding what is and will be most important in their lives.


Ways to Pray for your CHILDREN

SUNDAY

1. That they will know Christ as Savior early in life. (Ps.63:1; 2 Tim.3:15)

2. That they will have a hatred for sin and evil. (Ps.97:10)

MONDAY

3. That they will be caught when guilty. (Ps.119:71)

4. That they would be protected from the evil one in each area of their lives: spiritually, emotionally, physically, etc. (Luke 2:52)

TUESDAY

5. That they will have a responsible attitude in all their interpersonal relationships. (Dan.6:3)

6. That they will respect those in authority over them. (Rom.13:1)

WEDNESDAY

7. That they will desire the right kinds of friends and be protected from the wrong friends. (Prov.1:10-11)

8. That they would be kept from the wrong mate and saved for the right one. (2 Cor.6:14-17)

THURSDAY

9. That they, as well as those they marry, will be kept pure until marriage. (2 Cor.6:18-20)

10. That they would learn to totally submit to God and actively resist Satan in all circumstances. (James 4:7)

FRIDAY

11. That they would be wholeheartedly sold out to serving Jesus Christ. (Rom.12:1-2)

12. That they would be hedged in so that they cannot find their way to wrong people, and so that wrong people cannot find their way to them. (Hos.2:6)

SATURDAY

13. That their children and grandchildren will know Christ as savior and serve Him with their whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. (Matt.22:37-38)

14. That when they leave home it would be with an eternal perspective and Christ-like values and characteristics. (Is.40:8, Col. 3:2)

If you like, I can email you the trio of lists. It included one for praying for yourself, one for your husband, and this one. Really helpful.
