Pray for Your Children and Grandchildren Copied from Power of a Praying Parent Lord, You have said in Your Word that a good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children (Proverbs 13;22). I pray that the inheritance I leave to my children will be the rewards of a godly life and a clean heart before You. To make sure that happens, I ask that wherever there is a sinful trait in me that I have acquired from my family, deliver me from it now in the name of Jesus. I confess my sins to You. I ask for forgiveness and restoration, knowing Your Word says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”(1 John 1:9). I know that cleansing from sin through confession lessens the possibility of passing the habit of sin on to my child. Jesus said, “I give you the authority….. over all the powers of the enemy”(Luke 10:19). If there is any work of the enemy in my past that seeks to encroach upon the life of my child, (name of child), I break it now by the power and authority given me in Jesus Christ. I pray specifically about (name something you see in yourself or your family that you don’t want passed on to your child). Whatever is not Your will for our lives, I reject as sin. Thank you Jesus, that You came to set us free from the past. We refuse to live bound by it. Thank You, Father, that Your have “qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light” (Colossians 1:12). I pray that my son/daughter will not inherit any sin trait from his/her earthly family, but will “inherit the kingdom prepared for him/her from the foundation of the world”(Matthew 25:34). Thank You Jesus, that in You the old has passed away and all things are new. Lord, I lift up (Name of child) to You and ask that anything bad from my past or his/her father’s past will not be something with which he/she will have to struggle or a burden he/she will have to bear. I know that things from the past may try to raise their ugly heads in his/her life as he/she gets older, but I pray that he/she will know that these things have been broken by the power of Your Spirit. May he/she be strong enough in You to lay hold of the inheritance of freedom that was bought for him/her on the cross. Thank You, Jesus, that You paid that price so we and our children don’t have to. Scriptures Galatians 5;1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 1 Peter 1: 3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Isaiah 61:1The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Titus 3: 3-7 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
