We join you in lifting your precious children before the throne of grace and we thank you for your faithful love as a parent who intercedes for them. We hear your heart for your daughter who is walking in rebellion and for your child with special needs, and we stand with you asking the Lord to hold them in His hands every step of the way.

The Lord tells us that children are a heritage from Him, Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. And He also reminds us of His wonderful design for each life, Psalm 139:14 I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. Your child with special needs is fearfully and wonderfully made with purpose and value in the eyes of God, and He sees and cherishes that child completely. We pray that both of your children will come to know deeply that they are loved, cared for, and that they are children of the Lord with a future and hope in Him.

For your daughter we pray against the spirit of rebellion, for rebellion is not pleasing to God. Scripture calls children to honor and obedience, Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, 3 that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth. Bitterness, anger, resentment and wrath are to be put away, Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. We pray that the Lord will soften her heart, remove that bitterness and anger, and replace it with a heart that desires His choices and His path. We pray she will do well in school, walk down the right path, see the light of Christ, and choose what honors Him. We also claim your prayer of covering her from the top of her head to the soles of her feet with the blood of Jesus, for it is only through His sacrifice that we have protection, forgiveness and access to the Father.

We encourage you to continue to train them faithfully in the Word, Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Keep teaching, correcting in love, and modeling patience, kindness and godly understanding. The Lord promises wisdom to parents who ask, James 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.

We pray together now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can approach You and be saved. We lift up these two precious children to You. Lord, touch our dear daughter who is rebelling. Soften her heart, take away all bitterness, anger, resentment and hardness, and give her a new heart that loves You and desires to obey You and honor her parent. Lead her to make Your choices, to walk in Your light, to walk the right path and to do well in her schooling. Hold her hand every step and let her see Your truth and Your love. Cover her completely with the blood of Jesus and keep evil far from her. And Father, we lift up our dear child with special needs. Watch over this child, protect, provide, and let this child know without doubt that he is loved, cherished, and fearfully made by You. Let Your Holy Spirit be with both children always, guiding, protecting, and drawing them to salvation through Jesus. Let them grow to be healthy, happy, godly adults who love You and walk with You. Give them kindness, faith, patience, understanding, and Your guidance all their days. And give this parent wisdom, strength, patience, peace and encouragement as they raise these children for Your glory. We thank You that You have not left us alone, Isaiah 41:10 Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. We trust You to do what is best for these children and to keep them in Your perfect care. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.

We hear how much love you carry for your children and how heavy this season feels. You are holding two different burdens at once, a daughter who is pulling away and making choices that worry you, and a child with special needs who needs extra watch and care, and you want both of them to be safe, healthy, and sure they are loved by you and by the Lord.

When a child is in a rebellious stretch it can feel personal and exhausting. Staying steady often helps more than any single big talk, keeping clear and loving boundaries, listening first before correcting, and still speaking encouragement over her even on hard days. For your child with special needs, your faithful prayer and desire for protection and guidance already matter so much. You do not have to carry this alone. If you have a trusted pastor, family member, or one or two friends who know your family, inviting them to pray with you regularly and to walk with you in practical ways can bring fresh wisdom and strength for the daily decisions.

Father, we lift this parent and both children to You in Jesus name. Cover each child from head to toe with Your care and keep evil far from them. Soften and guide the daughter who is struggling, lead her step by step into Your light and help her choose what is good. Watch over the child with special needs with Your tender protection. Give this parent renewed patience, kindness, understanding and wisdom for each day, and let both children grow knowing they are deeply loved, cherished, and held by You. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer for your children has come before the Lord, and it is a right and holy burden for a parent to carry. He who gathers His people as a shepherd gathers lambs is not unmindful of the little ones at your table and in your home, and He hears the cry of a parent who desires their good.

For the one who is rebellious, we join you in asking the Lord to work that change of heart which only He can give. Bitterness and anger and resentment are not removed by our own resolve, but by the grace of God which softens the stony heart. Scripture says, Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth. Salvation is not by our striving but by looking to Christ, by trusting in Him. What is believing on Him but to depend upon Him without fear as to present and eternal salvation. We pray that she may be brought to see Christ as her salvation, that she may look to Him and live, that the light of His grace may show her the right path and that her feet may be guided to walk in it. May the Lord hold her hand every step of the way, and keep her from the ways which would harm her soul, and cover her with that perfect righteousness which Christ alone provides, which can take away sin and bring peace which the world cannot take away.

For your child with special needs, we ask the Lord's tender watch and keeping. He knows every need and every weakness, and His honor is engaged to keep the meanest of His sheep. The same salvation which is offered without money and without price is for such as these, for faith is not a grace for the strong only, but if little hearts shall look to Him who was the holy child Jesus, salvation shall be theirs. We pray that both your children may know themselves to be loved and cared for by the Lord, that no evil may harm their souls, that they may be kept in health and holiness as God in His wisdom sees best, and that they may grow in kindness, patience, loving understanding and all the fruits of the Spirit.

Take comfort in the promise of household salvation. When the heart turns to Christ, the desire most natural and proper is that those under our own roof should know Him too. Continue to set Christ before them, to pray for them, to train them in the way of the cross, and to trust the Lord who is able to save to the uttermost. He does not make us His children today and cast us away tomorrow, but His salvation is secure beyond hazard for all who trust Him.

We pray with you now. O Lord God, who alone is God and beside whom there is none else, look in mercy upon these children. Remove bitterness and anger, grant a new heart and a right spirit, lead them in the way everlasting, and cover them with the blood of Jesus from the top of the head to the soles of the feet. Watch over them, keep them from evil, grant them salvation through faith in Christ Jesus, and give them protection and guidance all their days. Let them know they are Yours, and let Your Holy Spirit be always with them, forming in them all that is pleasing in Your sight. Grant to their parent strength and patience and wisdom to walk faithfully before them. We ask this not because we are worthy, but because Christ is worthy, and in His name we trust. Amen.
