God wants everyone in your family to be blessed.  From the least, unto the greatest, it is His desire that all that is in your household be entrenched in God’s favor.  What better gift to give to your children than to extend the blessings of the Lord over their life.  These little ones will be the next carriers of God’s word.  They will be the conduits through which generations after them will find their way to the Lord and His salvation.  It all starts with what is planted in them today.  When we step off the scene we want to be sure these future leaders are strengthened in His might and power.

Below are verses you can begin to pray over your children today.  Sow the seed of God’s Word into their life through intercession and may the Lord bless their growth.

• A prayer for beautifully mature growth – “That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style,” – Psalm 144:12, NKJV.
• A prayer for the instruction of the Lord and peace – “All thy children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children,” Isaiah 54:13.

There are numerous verses you can proclaim over your family today.  Many of these I have prayed over my own children down through the years and though many are of adult age, some with children of their own, I still find myself praying for them.

God’s Word is powerful!  Why not use it to pray over and bless the lives of your children?
