BELOW IS A PRAYER FOR OUR CHILDREN. Look up the Scriptures if you have opportunity, and see the promises the Lord makes in regard to our children, His Covenant promises toward those who love Him. Not only for our children, but our grandchildren...and whatever other children He may have placed within your care or heart.

PRAYER TO OUR FATHER IN BEHALF OF OUR CHILDREN (DESCENDANTS):

“Father, I’m trusting in Your Words, to circumcise my heart and the heart of my descendants, so that we will love you with all our heart and soul ¹...that my descendants will inherit the land ²…that my descendants will never beg for bread, but will be a blessing ³…that my descendants will be established before You ⁴…that my descendants will be mighty on earth ⁵…that my children are a gift of the LORD,  a reward from Your Hand ⁶…that my children will be like olive plants around my table ⁷…that the descendants of the righteous will be delivered ⁸…and that my children will have a refuge. ⁹

    You said that as I walk in integrity before you, how blessed are my sons [and daughters] after

me ¹⁰…that when they are old they will not depart from Your ways ¹¹…that You will pour out Your Spirit on my offspring and Your blessing on my descendants, that this one will say, 'I am the LORD's' and another will write on his hand, 'Belonging to the LORD.’ ¹²

   You said that all my children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of my children ¹³...that Your Spirit which is upon me, and Your Words which You have put in my mouth shall not depart from my mouth, nor from the mouth of my offspring, nor from the mouth of my offspring's offspring from now and forevermore ¹⁴…that my offspring will be known among the nations, because they are the offspring whom the Lord has blessed ¹⁵…and that I  will not labor in vain, nor bear children for calamity, for they are the offspring of those blessed by the LORD, and their descendants also. ¹⁶

   You said that my work will be rewarded, and that my children will return to their own inheritance provided for them in Christ ¹⁷...that You will give me one heart and one way, that I may fear You always, for my own good and for the good of my children after me ¹⁸…and that in the last days You will pour out Your Spirit on all mankind, and that my sons and daughters would prophesy ¹⁹…that the gift and promise of the Holy Spirit is for me and my children and for all who are far off. ²⁰

   You said that You would restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers (parents) ²¹, and that my children have angels in heaven who continually see the face of my Father who is in heaven ²²…and that if I believe in the Lord JESUS, that I will be saved, both I and my household ²³...and that if my offspring would honor their parents, it will go well with them. ²⁴

   Father, I’m not demanding anything from Your Hand, but simply am reminding You of the promises which You have given for those who love You, and am trusting You to do what you have promised to do within the lives of our descendants, for Your glory alone, and as a testimony of Your faithfulness to Your children. In JESUS’ Name, Amen.
