Lord
I pray for (name of child) to have an ever-increasing hunger for more of You. May she(he) long for Your presence - long to spend time with You in prayer, praise and worship. Give her(him) a desire for the truth of Your Word and a love for Your laws and Your ways. Teach her(him) to live by faith and be led by the Holy Spirit, having an availability to do what You tell her(him) to do. May she(he) be so aware of the fullness of Your Spirit in her(him) that when she(he) is depleted in any way she(he) will immediately run to You to be renewed and refreshed.
I pray that her(his)heart will not have any allegiances or diversions away from You, but rather that she(he) would be repulsed by ungodliness and all that is in opposition to You. May a deep reverence and love for You and Your ways color everything she (he) does and every choice she(he) makes. Help her (him) to understand the consequences of her (his) actions and know that a life controlled by the flesh will only reap death. May she (he) not be wise in her (his) own eyes, but rather "fear the Lord and depart from evil" (Proverb 3:7).
I pray that she (he) will be reliable, dependable, responsible, compassionate, sensitive, loving and giving to others. Deliver her(him) from any pride, laziness, slothfulness, selfishness, or lust of the flesh. I pray that she (he) will have a teachable and submissive spirit that says "Yes" to the things of God and "No" to the things of the flesh. Strengthen her(him) to stand strong in her(his) convictions.
I pray that she (he) will always desire to be an active member of a Christian church that is alive to the truth of Your Word and the power of Holy Spirit-led worship, prayer, and teaching. As she(he) learns to read Your Word, write Your law in her(his) mind and on her(his) heart so that she(he) always walks with a confident assurance of the righteousness of Your commands. As she (he) learns to pray, may she (he) also learn to listen for Your voice. I pray that her(his) relationship with You will never become lukewarm, indifferent, or shallow. May there always be a Holy Spirit fire in her(his) heart and unwavering desire for the things of God.
