Following Your Word, I will diligently teach my child, keeping them close to my heart and thoughts. Your grace is enough to overcome my shortcomings as a parent.

My child is obedient and honors both parents, embracing the abundant promises of Your Word for long life and prosperity. (Child) is a godly child, unashamed and unafraid to honor and follow Your Word. He/she is firmly convinced that You are the Almighty God.

Overcoming Rebellion: A Parent’s Prayer Guide


Father, in the name of Jesus, I declare Your Word over my child. I commit (teen’s name) into Your hands and find joy in You. I thank You for guiding (teen) out of rebellion and into a harmonious relationship with us, his/her parents.

Father, the first commandment with a promise is for the child who obeys their parents in the Lord. You declared that all will be well with them, and they will live long on the earth. I stand on this promise for my child, asking You to grant them an obedient spirit so they may honor and value their father and mother.

Father, forgive me for the mistakes I’ve made out of my own unresolved pain or selfishness, which may have caused hurt to my teen. I ask for the anointing of Jesus to heal and bind up our broken hearts as parents and child. Grant us the grace to understand and forgive one another, just as God has forgiven us in Christ. Thank You for the Holy Spirit who guides us into all truth and helps correct any wrong perceptions about past or present situations.

Thank you for teaching us to listen to one another and giving (teen) a heart that embraces wisdom through correction. I commit to speaking words of excellence and truth, ensuring my speech aligns with righteousness. Father, I pledge to guide and train (teen) in the right path, so that as he/she grows, he/she will remain steadfast in sound teaching and doctrine, following it throughout life. In Jesus’ Name, I declare rebellion has no place in my child’s heart, and I confess that he/she is willing and obedient, ready to enjoy the blessings of your promises. (Teen) will be a source of peace, spreading it to others.

Father, in line with Your Word, we have been entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation, and I release this ministry and the message of reconciliation into this family situation. I choose not to provoke, irritate, or cause my child to fret; I will avoid being overly harsh, so they do not become discouraged or feel inferior and frustrated. I will not break their spirit, in the name of Jesus and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Father, I forgive my child for their wrongdoings and intercede for them until they come to their senses and break free from the enemy’s trap of rebellion. Thank You for fulfilling Your Word, turning and reconciling the heart of the rebellious child to their parents and the hearts of the parents to their child. Thank You for restoring my child to a healthy relationship with You and with me, so that our lives may glorify You! Amen.

Prayer to Nurture and Protect Your Kids

Here is a general prayer for the children in your life.


Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray and declare Your Word over my children, surrounding them with faith—faith in Your Word that You fulfill it! I believe and declare that my children are followers of Christ, taught by the Lord, and obedient to Your will. Great is the peace and calm of my children, for You, God, stand against what stands against them, providing them safety and comfort.


Father, You will take care of everything that concerns me. I entrust and release the care of my children entirely to You, Father. They are in Your hands, and I am fully convinced that You are able to protect and hold what I have entrusted to You. You are more than enough!

I believe my children respect and obey their parents in the Lord, recognizing this as just and right. They honor and cherish their parents, holding them in high regard, as this is the first commandment with a promise: that things may go well for them and they may enjoy a long life on earth. I trust that my children choose life, love the Lord, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him, for He is their life and the length of their days. As such, my children are leaders, not followers; they rise above and are never beneath. They are blessed in their coming and going.


I believe and confess that You assign Your angels to watch over my children, to guide, protect, and keep them safe in all they do. You, Lord, are their Shelter and Stronghold, their Glory, and the One who lifts their spirits.


As parents, we won’t provoke or irritate our children. We’ll avoid being harsh or causing them to feel discouraged, frustrated, or inferior. Instead, we’ll nurture them with love, guiding them gently through discipline and advice rooted in faith. We’ll teach them the right path so that when they’re older, they won’t stray from it.


O Lord, my God, how majestic and glorious is Your name throughout all the earth! You have displayed Your glory above the heavens. From the mouths of children and infants, You have established strength to silence Your enemies and those who oppose You. I give praise to Your name, O Most High. In the name of Jesus, the enemy is driven away from my children! They grow in wisdom and find favor with God and people. Amen.
