Prayer for our children

Stormie Omartian, The Power of a Praying Parent

Growing and Grounded in Faith

Lord,

You have said in Your Word that You have "dealt to each one a measure of faith" (Romans 12:3). I pray that You would take the faith You have planted in (_____) and multiply it.

May the truth of Your Word be firmly established in his/her heart so that faith will grow daily and navigate his/her life.

Help him/her to trust You at all times as he/she looks to You for truth, guidance, and transformation into Your likeness.

I know that trusting in You is a choice that we make. Enable him/her to make that choice.

I pray that he/she will look to You for everything, knowing that he/she is never without hope. May his/her faith be the "substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).

I pray he/she will have faith strong enough to lift him/her above his/her circumstances and limitations and instill in him/her the confidence of knowing that everything will work together for good (Romans 8:28).

I pray that he/she will be so strong in faith that his/her relationship with You supersedes all else in his/her life---even my influence as a parent.

In other words, may he/she have a relationship with You, Lord, that is truly his/her own---not an extension of mine or anyone else's.

I want the comfort of knowing that when I am no longer on this earth, his/her faith will be strong enough to keep him/her "steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord" (1 Corinthians 15:58).

As he/she walks in faith, may he/she have Your heart of love that overflows to others, a heart that is willing to give of self and possessions according to Your leading.

May he/she see that giving out of love is actually giving back to You in faith ad that he/she will never lose anything by doing so.

I pray that he/she will take the "shield of faith" in order to "quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one" (Ephesians 6:16), and thereby be able to stand strong in faith and say, "I thank Christ Jesus our Lord Who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful" (1 Timothy 1:12).

In Jesus' Name, I pray all of these things. Amen.
