Scriptures to Pray Over Your Children
As moms, we carry so much on our hearts for our children—their safety, their friendships, their future, and most importantly, their faith. While we can’t control every part of their journey, we can cover them in prayer. And there’s no better place to start than with the truth of God’s Word.
4 Powerful Scriptures to Pray Over your Children:
Psalm 139:14
“Lord, today I pray that my children would know they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Help them see that You created them on purpose and with purpose.”
Psalm 25:4-5
“God, fill my children with wisdom. Guide their steps and teach them Your ways as they grow. Help them seek Your path and trust Your leading.”
1 Peter 5:7
“Father, help my children learn to trust You fully. Teach them to cast their worries and fears at Your feet, knowing that You deeply care for them.”
Philippians 2:3-4
“Lord, grow humility in their hearts. Show them how to honor others above themselves and lead them into meaningful, godly friendships.”
These verses are simple but powerful. They remind us that we don’t parent alone—we have a faithful God who hears every word we pray. When we feel overwhelmed or unsure, Scripture anchors us in truth and gives us words to speak over our children, even when we don’t know what to say.
