This is a prayer for your son,
whether he's five or 50,
whether he's close or far,
this is your moment to intercede with fire and faith.
Take a breath and let's pray with boldness.
Father God, I lift up my son before you today.
He may be my child by blood,
but he is your child by calling.
You knew him before I ever held him.
You formed him with intention,
crafted him with purpose
and breathed destiny into his lungs.
And now Lord,
I ask you to rise up and surround him,
cover his heart in a world full of noise.
Let him hear your whisper.
When confusion tries to creep in,
be his clarity.
When temptation knocks,
give him strength to say no
and courage to stand alone if holiness demands it.
May he not just know about you, but know you,
walk with you and be transformed by your presence.
Lord, I pray for his mind.
Anoint his thoughts with wisdom.
Guard him from lies that say he's not enough.
Remind him daily that he is fearfully and wonderfully made.
I rebuke every stronghold of insecurity,
addiction, rebellion and passivity.
And I speak, he will rise up in strength,
confidence and integrity.
I declare, he will be a man after your heart.
He will walk in truth,
even when the path is narrow.
He will lead with compassion and serve with humility.
He will not be swayed by the culture
because he's grounded in the kingdom.
Thank you that you love my son more than I ever could.
And because of that, I can lay him at your feet
with peace, not panic, with faith, not fear.
You are the keeper of his soul.
You are the God who finishes what you start.
And I believe his story will bring you glory.
Every chapter, every step, every victory.
In Jesus's mighty name, amen.
If you're standing in prayer for your son today,
type he belongs to God in the comments
and share this with the first parent that comes to mind.
