Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray and confess Your Word over my children and surround them with my faith – faith in Your Word that You watch over it to perform it! I confess and believe that my children are disciples of Christ, taught of the Lord and obedient to Your will. Great is the peace and undisturbed composure of my children, because You, God, give them safety and ease them.
My children are in Your hands, and I am positively persuaded that You are able to guard and keep that which I have committed to You. You are more than enough!
As parents, we will not provoke, irritate, or fret our children. We will not be hard on them or cause them to become discouraged, sullen, or to feel inferior and frustrated. We will not break or wound their spirits, but we will rear them tenderly in the training, discipline, counsel, and admonition of the Lord. We will train them in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.
The enemy is turned back from my children in the name of Jesus. They increase in wisdom and in favor with God and man. Amen.
