These 21 Scriptures we can pray for our children in 2021 can make all the difference. And while we have high hopes that 2021 will have less conflict and trials than last year, we can’t guarantee it. There are many things we can do for our children to help them during hard times, but the best thing we can do is pray. Lift your children to God this year through the power of His word.
21 Scriptures we can pray for our children
- Truth. With so many people trying to convince kids that “anything goes,” pray that your children will understand that truth comes from God. We need to follow what God says. “Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you,” Psalm 25:5.
- Peace. Everyone is facing challenges in our world right now. Instead of being worried, pray that your children’s focus will stay on God so they can have peace. “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” Isaiah 26:3.
- Patience and Kindness. Most children are missing out on normal activities with their friends. Pray that your children can grow in patience and kindness with each other during this time. “Love is patient and kind,” 1 Corinthians 13:4.
- Obedience. It may seem strange to pray that your children will obey you, but when children learn obedience parents, they also learn to obey God. “People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life, but those who ignore correction will go astray,” Proverbs 10:17.
- Purity. Pray for your children’s purity through obeying God’s Word. There are many things that can corrupt the mind, heart and body. “How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word,” Psalm 119:9.
- Trust. Pray for your children to trust in the Lord instead of their own ideas. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding,” Proverbs 3:5.
