Prayer for children: the greatest gift you can give

The most powerful thing a parent can do for a child is not provide the best school or the safest neighborhood — it is pray. A prayer for children covers what no human effort can reach.

Jesus and the children

When the disciples tried to prevent parents from bringing children to Jesus, He rebuked them: 'Let the little children come to me.' He laid His hands on them. He blessed them. He declared that theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus made space for children in His ministry. He took them seriously. A prayer for your children brings them before the same Jesus who blessed and welcomed the children of Galilee.

What to pray for your children

A prayer for children covers every dimension of their life:

• Protection — from danger, bad influences, and harm
• Faith — that they would know God personally, not just religiously
• Purpose — that God's calling on their life would unfold clearly
• Health — physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing

Children's prayers from the Holy Land

Many of the prayers Mirezo receives are from parents carrying their children before God — infants, teenagers, and adult children. No age makes a child too old to pray over.

At the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus blessed the children who came to Him, Mirezo prays your prayer for your child. Their name is spoken in the place where Jesus welcomed the children.
