A Prayer for my son

Heavenly Father,

I come before You today and lift my son to You. Father, I ask You to lead me in how to pray for him because what I want for him may not be what you have in store for him. Your Word teaches that You knew us in our mother’s womb, so You surely knit him together in my womb. (Psalm 139:13-14)

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

I surrender my hopes and dreams for him to You right now, Father. I confess as sin any manipulation on my part in trying to make him become who he is not or rejecting in any way who he is. Please forgive me, Lord.

Father, he needs help and instruction and sometimes I feel so inadequate and unfaithful in raising him, yet I know You have chosen me, since before You laid the foundations of the world. (Ephesians 1:4)

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

It is my heart to do right by him and I have made so many mistakes, Lord. Forgive me. Right now I surrender him to You. Whatever stage of life he is in, I surrender his life to You to be used for Your Glory. It’s never too late with You, God. You are the God of second chances. You are the God of the Exodus! You are the God who designs our trials to be set ups for Your miraculous deliverance!

Father, I give you permission to re-parent my child. Draw him with Your cords of love and deliver him to be used for Your Glory and Purpose on this earth. I dedicate him for Your use today, Lord. I bind his feet to paths of righteousness for Your Name’s sake and loose his feet from the paths of destruction.

I loose the angels, in Jesus Name, to go with my son throughout his life, guarding him, guiding him and assisting him, pushing open doors of favor for Your Glory, Lord. Make him the man You created him to be. Create in him a pure heart.

I pray for his wife, the one You created for him, that she love you above all things. I pray that this girl has parents who raise her in Your ways and keep her from harm. I pray she is pure, kept pure for my son. I loose the angels to burn and demolish all counterfeits who may come before her as temptation and defilement to my son now in Jesus Name.

I loose the angels to guard their paths to one another and ask You bless their union with much fruit, Lord. According to Your purposes, Lord, I trust You with all of these matters. For they all belong to You.

Thank You Lord, for hearing my petitions. I love and praise and exist to serve You alone.

In Jesus Name.

Amen
