Prayers of Intercession for our Children.

Praying for our children is one of the most important things we can do for them. There is constant spiritual warfare raging against our children, because the family is one of the enemy’s prime targets.

The following suggestions present specific things you can pray for your children. Take time to intercede for them in these areas and enter into spiritual warfare on their behalf.

Pray for your children:

• That they will trust Christ as their Savior. (See Psalm 63:1 and II Timothy 3:15.)
• That they will hate evil. (See Psalm 97:10.)
• That they will be caught when doing wrong. (See Numbers 32:23 and Galatians 6:7.)
• That they will be protected from the evil one in each area of their lives: spiritual, emotional, and physical. (See John 17:15.)
• That they will have a responsible attitude in all their relationships. (See Daniel 6:3.)
• That they will respect those in authority over them. (See Romans 13:1.)
• That they will desire to have wise friends and be protected from foolish companions. (See Proverbs 1:10–16.)
• That they will be kept for the right spouse. (See Proverbs 19:14 and II Corinthians 6:14–17.)
• That they, as well as those they marry, will remain pure until marriage. (See I Corinthians 6:13–20.)
• That they will be single-hearted, willing to be sold out to Jesus Christ. (See II Timothy 1:5–7, 3:14–17.)
• That they will be hedged in so they cannot find their way to wrong influences, places, people, or friends, and that these temptations will not come against them. (See Hosea 2:5–7.)
• That they will learn the great virtue of humility. (See James 4:6.)
