Praying for our children has been a huge part of our parenting journey going back to when we first found out we were going to be parents.
We would pray all the typical prayers – Protection, heath, wisdom, that they would know Jesus as their personal savior, they would do well in school, have their hearts mended after a playground disagreement , pass an upcoming test and so on. Until I discovered the idea of actually praying the scriptures over our children. Where we use the Bible itself — God’s actual words — as the foundation for our prayers.
For eaxample:
Praying Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” praying it over my kids to pray they will treat each other with compassion.
“I pray that Caleb and Nate, would be kind and compassionate toward each other, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave them.”
