Scripture References
Pray With Me
Father, thank You for the children You have entrusted to my care and love.
Protect them physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. Watch over them at home, at school, online, with friends, while traveling, and in places where I cannot be present.
Give them wisdom beyond their years. Help them recognize unsafe situations, unhealthy relationships, deception, and pressure. Give them courage to ask for help and to walk away when something is wrong.
Surround them with trustworthy friends, teachers, mentors, coaches, leaders, and adults who will encourage what is good.
Protect their minds from comparison and their identity from being shaped only by approval, appearance, performance, or popularity. Help them know that they are deeply loved.
Give me wisdom as a parent or caregiver. Keep my protection from becoming controlling fear, and keep my desire to give freedom from becoming neglect.
Teach me when to speak, when to listen, when to set boundaries, and when to let them grow through responsibility.
Lead our children into truth, courage, compassion, and faith.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
