There are many powerful scriptures you should declare over your children while praying. Doing this gives you peace of mind and confidence which can only come from the Lord. It also encourages you as a parent. These positive feelings are essential for dealing with the ups and downs of parenting children.
As a mother of three children ranging in age from eighteen to twelve years old. I am often extremely proud of my children for achieving goals or helping others. However, sometimes I am angry or even terrified by the poor choices or mistakes they make.
Most parents do their best to raise their children properly, but today’s world is full of things that can discourage or distract them. Rather than being discouraged, I suggest taking it to God in prayer.
Every Christian parent has the privilege of drawing on scriptural promises and asking God to fulfil those promises in their children’s lives. If you are not sure where to begin, let’s personalise the following scriptures as you pray for your children.
