Biblical Prayers for our Children  

©by Kathy Black             

  

Every Morning

 Protect, defend and keep our children safe today.  We declare that any curses, edits, or words that are contrary to your will are unable to touch our children today.  We declare they are removed by the blood of your Son, Jesus.  We declare they are blessed with all blessings and favor because of what Christ has done for them.  We declare that they are protected from arrows that fly against them in the spiritual realm, from pestilence that walks in darkness, and from the destruction at noon day.  Psalm 91 and Deut.28:12

  5. I declare they are not like cowering, fearful slaves. I declare they will behave instead like God’s very own children, adopted into his family—calling him “Father, dear Father.” I declare that God’s Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we are God’s children.
