Lord, I pray Your emotional, physical, and spiritual protection over our children.

Keep evil far from them, and help them to trust You as their refuge and strength.

I pray You will guard our children's minds from harmful instruction, and grant them discernment to recognize truth.

I pray You will make them strong and courageous in the presence of danger, recognizing that You have overcome and will set right all injustice and wrong one day.

Help them to find rest in Your shadow, as they lives in the spiritual shelter You provide for them. Let our children know that the only safe place is in Jesus, and that their home on earth is only temporary. In Jesus name, Amen.
