I wrote this prayer on October 31, 2013 and it has remained the most visited post on my website ever since then. It’s encouraging to know that there are so many mothers in the world searching for prayers for their children on the internet.
I’ve updated the Psalm 91 prayer and I’m sharing it again to encourage you to pray passionately for your children today and every day.
LORD,
I pray that (child’s name) will always dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
Let my child say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.”
I trust You, Christ, to save my child from the enemy’s snare and the deadly pestilence. Please cover him with Your feathers and keep him under Your wings where he will find refuge. Let Your faithfulness be his shield and buckler.
Help my child not to fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in the darkness, nor the destruction that destroys at noon.
A thousand may fall at his side, ten thousand at his right hand, but it will not come near (child’s name) because You are with him.
Let (child’s name) make the Most High his dwelling. Let him take refuge in You alone. Let no harm befall him; let no plague come near him or his home.
Please give Your angels charge over my beloved child to guard him in all his ways. Let Your angels lift (child’s name) up in their hands so that he will not strike his foot against a stone or be harmed in any way.
Let my child love You with his whole heart and trust You fully. Please rescue and protect him because he has known Your name. Help him to put on the armor of God and trample the dark forces of the evil one.
Let my child call upon Your name. I trust You to answer him and help him in times of trouble. I trust You to deliver him and honor him always. I ask You to bless my child with long life, satisfy him, and show him Your salvation. I pray in Your name, Christ. Amen.
May Christ fill your heart with peace as you pray for your children.
This prayer was written with scriptures taken from the New American Standard Bible and the King James Bible.
