I pray that my children will recognize that Jesus is the Name above all names and will confess Him as Lord of all. I pray that they will trust Him with all their heart, not lean on their own understanding, and acknowledge He is Lord in everything; thus, You will guide them in You best way for them. May they be filled with Your Spirit to the fullness of Christ. (Philippians 2:9-11, Proverbs 3:5-6, Ephesians 5:18, 1:23, 4:13)
Not only do I pray all of the above for my children, but I also pray they know the power that is in the name of Jesus. Luke chapter 10 says, “The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your Name.” Philippians 210 says, “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under earth….”
These are powerful truths here. There is another truth and that is that we’re in spiritual battle here on earth. satan is working harder to destroy our lives and relationships than we are working to fight it sometimes. And why? EVERY knee in heaven, on earth and UNDER earth shall bow at the sound of Jesus!
I pray my children not only know the importance of devotion to God and time with Him for communion, but the importance of time in prayer of confrontation with the enemy who comes to kill, steal, and destroy.

Section 2 of the Praying For Children portion of the book is praying that our children will receive Jesus as their Savior. This is perhaps one of the most important prayers we’ll ever pray over our children. I love the verse Sylvia uses; it shows the importance:
I pray that my children will come to understand that You so loved them that You gave Your only Son for them, that because they believe in Him, they will have life forever with You. (John 3:16)
I pray that when my children are older, they look back and don’t remember a time that they didn’t know about God and His Love. I also pray that they will know Him as their Savior. John 3:16 was the first bible verse I ever memorized and I remember my mother teaching it to me. It’s a great one to start with, but here are some other great ones to pray over our children when we are praying they understand God’s love for them, that He gave His only Son for them, and that He is their Lord and Savior….
2 Timothy 3:15 – and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 1:18 – I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His Holy people.
Isaiah 45:8 – You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.
2 Timothy 2:10 – Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

I am taking this prayer outline from a book I use every single day — For the Family, by Sylvia Gunter.
The pages in my book are getting tattered. To say I love this book would be an understatement. It’s a powerful combination of scripture and words to speak over your children.
The book actually has 4 pages dedicated to prayers for your children. It breaks down each part into sections/paragraphs. I’m going to be posting about each section, one day at a time. I will be taking prayers and scripture right from this book and sharing other resources I use later in this little series. These posts may be short, but oh so powerful and important!
Before we start the “Praying For Children” part of the book, I want to share the introduction that Sylvia shares — the importance of asking the Lord what He wants for our children:
Guide me by Your Spirit as I pray for them according to Your will. I release them to You so that You can accomplish Your will for their lives. I will try not to live my life over through them. Keep me from binding them by my needs, wants, and ambitions for them. Get me out of Your way, so that You can work the life of Christ in them and give them Your best. Give me the grace to wait on You, for Your timing is perfect.
I love this! It’s so good to pray this every day. I sort of pick and choose which sections of “Praying For Children” I’m going to pray that day, but THIS is important every day. Getting out the way so HE can work….important. Surrendering them to Him…important. Asking for grace…important. 
Join me tomorrow for the first section of Praying For Children — that they will receive and love Jesus as their Savior.
