Praying Over Our Children

I have not stockpiled Scripture to pray over my kids. It’s wierd. When they were in the womb, I prayed texts for them regularly. This morning I took my daughter into my study and prayed a proverb over her: “Charm is deceitful, beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be honored.”  Each time I prayed it, she smiled.

May God grant fathers wisdom to raise their daughters building their identity upon a reverent relationship with the living God. May the Triune community be their defining influence, not charmed and attracted men, no matter how godly.

What are some texts you pray over your kids?
