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.
