The Children

The Children

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

Lo rd and obedient to Your will. G reat is the peace and

undisturbed com p o s u re of my ch i l d re n , b e cause You, God,

contend with that which contends with my children, and You give

them safety and ease them.

Father, You will perfect that which concerns me. I commit and

cast the care of my children once and for all over on You, Father. They

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!

I confess that my children obey their parents in the Lord as

His representatives, because this is just and right. My children

__________ honor, esteem, and value as precious their parents; for

this is the first commandment with a promise: that all may be well

with my children and that they may live long on earth. I believe

and confess that my children choose life and love You, Lord, obey

Your voice and cling to You; for You are their Life and the Length

of their days. Therefore, my children are the head and not the tail,

and they shall be above only and not beneath. They are blessed

when they come in and when they go out.

I believe and confess that You give Your angels charge over

my children to accompany and defend and preserve them in all

their ways. You, Lord, are their Refuge and Fortress. You are their

Glory and the Lifter of their heads.

As parents, we will not provoke, irritate, or fret our children.

We will not be hard on them or harass them or cause them to

become discouraged, sullen, or morose or to feel inferior and

frustrated. We will not break or wound their spirits, but we will

rear them tenderly in the tra i n i n g, 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.

O Lo rd , my Lo rd , how excellent (majestic and glorious) is

Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory on or above the

heavens.Out of the mouth of babes and unweaned infants You have

established strength because of Your foes, that You might silence the

enemy and the avenger. I sing praises to Your name, O Most High.

The enemy is turned back from my children in the name of Jesus! T h ey

increase in wisdom and in favor with God and man. Amen.
