As parents, there is no greater desire than to see our children protected, blessed, and walking in the purpose God has for them. A prayer for your son is a heartfelt plea to God for His guidance, protection, and favor upon his life. Whether your son is facing challenges, celebrating victories, or simply navigating the path ahead, prayer remains the most powerful way to cover him in the Lord’s grace.
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) encourages us, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.” This verse reminds us of the importance of lifting up our sons in prayer, trusting that God will guide their steps.
As you pray for your son, you are asking God to protect him from harm, strengthen him in times of weakness, and grant him wisdom in all his decisions. It’s an act of love and faith, trusting that God’s hand will be upon him in every situation, leading him toward a life of purpose and fulfillment.
