Keeper of the Springs: A Prayer For Your Children

Society today has almost convinced us that children are a curse. But, God's word clearly states: "Children are an heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them." This confession of God's Word will activate faith in your heart. As you make this confession before God, remember that He watches over His word to perform it and it will not return to Him

A PRAYER FOR YOUR CHILDREN

"Father, Your Word is true and I believe it. Therefore, in the name of Jesus, I believe in my heart and say with my mouth that the Word of God prevails over my children. Your Word says that You will pour out your Spirit upon my offspring and Your blessing upon my descendants. I believe and say that my children are wise and that they take heed to and are the fruit of godly instruction and correction.

I love my children and I will diligently discipline them early. Because of that, they give me delight and rest. Father, I take Your Word that says You will contend with him who contends with me and You give safety to my children and ease them day by day. I confess that You, Lord, give Your angels special charge over my children to accompany and defend and preserve them.

I believe they find favor, good understanding and high esteem in Your sight, Lord, and in the sight of man. I confess that my children are disciples taught of the Lord and obedient to Your will. Great is their peace and undisturbed composure. I believe I receive wisdom and counsel in bringing up my children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

And Your Word declares that when they are old they will not depart from it. So, I commit them into Your keeping and I know and have confident trust that they are watched over and blessed of the Lord all the days of their lives in Jesus' Name." Amen. (a prayer and confession by Kenneth Copeland)
