A Scriptural Prayer of Blessing Over Sons and Daughters

 










Father of lights, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
I come before You acknowledging that children are a heritage from the LORD
and that the fruit of the womb is Your reward (Psalm 127:3).

I place my hands upon my sons and daughters, and I bless them in Your name.

Walking in the Ways of God

Lord, put Your law within them and write it on their hearts (Jeremiah 31:33).
Cause them to delight in the law of the LORD,
that they may be like trees planted by streams of water,
bearing fruit in their season, whose leaf does not wither,
and whatever they do shall prosper (Psalm 1:1–3).

Let them acknowledge You in all their ways,
and You will direct their paths (Proverbs 3:5–6).
Teach them Your ways, O LORD, that they may walk in Your truth
and fear Your name with undivided hearts (Psalm 86:11).


Preservation from Babylon and Its Seduction

Father, I ask that You would separate them in heart and mind
from the spirit of this age.
As You preserved Daniel, give them resolve not to defile themselves
with the delicacies of Babylon (Daniel 1:8).

Let them come out from among her and be separate (2 Corinthians 6:17),
not loving the world nor the things in the world,
for the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life
are not from You but are passing away (1 John 2:15–17).

Remove from them every desire for what You have not planted.
Let Babylon hold no attraction, no fascination, no authority over their hearts.
Teach them to see Babylon as You see it—empty, fleeting, and deceptive.


Discernment and Victory Over Deception

Lord, give them eyes that see and ears that hear (Isaiah 6:10).
Grant them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You,
that the eyes of their understanding may be enlightened (Ephesians 1:17–18).

Let them not be ignorant of the enemy’s devices (2 Corinthians 2:11).
Train them to test the spirits and recognize what is not from You (1 John 4:1).
May Your word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105).

When deception speaks smoothly, let truth rise louder.
When lies disguise themselves as light,
cause discernment to expose them instantly.


Identity, Strength, and Protection

I declare that my sons and daughters are taught by the LORD,
and great shall be their peace (Isaiah 54:13).
No weapon formed against them shall prosper,
and every tongue that rises against them in judgment is condemned
(Isaiah 54:17).

They are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10).
They are not conformed to this world,
but are transformed by the renewing of their minds,
that they may discern what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God
(Romans 12:2).


Final Blessing

May the LORD bless them and keep them.
May the LORD make His face shine upon them and be gracious to them.
May the LORD lift up His countenance upon them and give them peace
(Numbers 6:24–26).

I seal this blessing by faith,
trusting that He who began a good work in them will complete it
until the day of the Lord (Philippians 1:6).

Amen.

Scriptures Describing the Process of God

The idea that some individuals have a deeper understanding of God's ways and processes is illustrated in the verse which is from Psalm 103:7 : "He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel."

Here are several scriptures that emphasize understanding God's processes, ways, or principles: Isaiah 55:8-9 : "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."
