8 Prayers Over Your Children Prayer Cards
Unfortunately, we have an enemy out there that is just waiting to steal the joy from our kids and wreck the family. You have power over this enemy when you have Jesus Christ living inside of your heart.
You have the same resurrection power within you. You have unquestionable authority over Satan and his demons whose unrelenting goal is to wreak havoc and destruction, especially in our kids’ lives.
Any prayer in the name of Jesus is powerful. I pray over my son every morning no matter where he is. When I finish saying these prayers I usually say “Lord, I pray your protection over my child, I come against the snares and traps of the devil, sickness, disease, accidents, bad people, sadness and depression in the name of Jesus.”
I truly believe when I say these prayers my son has a divine protection surrounding him as he goes about his day.
Daily prayer over our children is vital today. We want them to have an abundant, blessed, and protected life. There is power in your prayers especially when you base them on God’s Word and say them in the name of Jesus.
By praying prayers along with scriptures from God’s Word there is a great power behind them and you are opening a clear passageway for Christ to enter and positively intervene in your child’s life.
Always be thankful for what you have when you are saying your prayers and making your requests. Being thankful will exponentially bolster your prayer life as well. I hope the following prayers give you comfort, hope, and confidence in your life and the abundant life of your child. Say them daily. It is so important we pray over our children every day because evil doesn’t take a break.
