A Prayer for My Kids as the School Year Starts

five birds flying in clouds

Dear God:

Help my kids know how deeply they are loved by You. May they choose to receive that amazing, unconditional, perfect love that only You can give them.

May they guard their minds to focus on Your truth and silence the lies. May they find security in You and not seek validation from their looks, from their talents, or from their devices.

Help them to fix their eyes on You, obey Your Word and live wisely, making the most of the time You have given them. May they recognize Your voice and be filled, empowered, and led by Your Holy Spirit.

Root out the weeds of sin and help them accept Your forgiveness and forgive themselves and others. Thank You for each of them. Help me to speak in a way they will hear, love in a way they understand, and guide them according to Your wisdom and ways.

My greatest prayer is that each of them would follow You all the days of their lives, that they would love You and live for You and fulfill their unique purpose in this generation.

I’m honored to be their mom. I know I’ve made many mistakes, please heal them and develop in them the character they need for their calling. May resentment not take hold. May restoration be reality. Thank You that You have not given them a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.

Direct their steps, bless and keep them. I entrust these amazing humans into Your hands, God.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Let's exchange try-hard striving for hope-filled freedom as we settle into our position as a doer and a daughter—created by a Loving Father.
