Heavenly Father,

I come before you today to ask for your blessing and guidance as I pray for my child. You have entrusted me with the incredible gift of being a parent, and I am eternally grateful for the precious life you have placed in my care.

I ask for your wisdom and strength as I seek to raise my child in a way that is pleasing to you. Help me to be a loving and patient parent, and to always set a positive example for my child to follow.

I pray for the protection of my child, both physically and spiritually. Shield them from harm and guide them away from temptation. Surround them with your love and peace, and draw them closer to you with each passing day.

Lord, I also ask for your guidance in helping me to nurture and support my child’s faith. May they come to know you personally and grow in their relationship with you. May they understand the depth of your love for them, and may they always seek to honor and glorify you in all they do.

I commit my child into your loving hands, trusting that you will always watch over them and provide for their needs. Thank you for the privilege of being a parent, and for the opportunity to help shape the future of my child.

In Jesus’ name, I pray,

Amen.
