Joy, Laughter, Hope: A Prayer To Build Strong Children

Father, you are truly our God. We honor and adore you so much. You are
mighty, strong, loving, caring, and everlasting. We are so happy that you
are our God.

Father, we ask that you would continue to take care of all of
us; but we come to you now asking on behalf of our children. We are so
grateful for your Holy Spirit that lives inside of us. Thank you for that FIRE
that He has put in our hearts for your Kingdom.

Now, Father, we come on behalf of the children you have entrusted to our care. For a truth, Father, they are your children foremost. We ask that you hem them in behind and before your Presence. Master, lay Your hand upon them, according to Psalm 139:5. Do not let any harm come to them while they are with us and away from us. Keep each of our children safe beneath Your wings, and guard them against any plots of evil that are meant to harm or bring ruin to them.

Be close to each of our children and children everywhere. Lord,
surround them with your shield and bless them with your loving favor.
Almighty Father in heaven, we ask for your strong arms of protection to
cover them…that they may be safe within your Secure Love.

Fill their days and nights with joy, laughter, and give them HOPE. Father, fill their hearts and minds with your truth and with the light of your knowledge. We entrust our children to you now, as you have entrusted them to us. You are the most powerful influence in their lives, so we ask you to surround them with your constant presence and mercy.

Thank you, God, for enabling us as parents, ministers, teachers, leaders, and family to build strong children so that they will cherish your heritage and uphold your legacy for future generations.

We love you Father and we TRUST you. It is in this act of Faith
that we ask these blessings. In the majestic and powerful name of Jesus
Christ,

Amen.
