14 Promises to Pray Over Your ChildrenSample

Putting God First

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.
Matthew 6:33 HCSB

Dear Lord, I pray that my children will put You first. I pray that they will seek Your kingdom and Your righteousness, and I pray that they will be blessed because of their choices.

Heavenly Father, You know that this world offers countless temptations and distractions. These worldly priorities threaten to sap our energy, monopolize our time, and dominate our thoughts. Protect us from these dangers, Lord, and guide us along the path that You have chosen for us.

You have blessed my family beyond measure, Lord. I pray that we will always put You first, ahead of every other priority.

Amen.
