Prayer for Son/Son-in-Law
Heavenly Father, I pray that my son (name) would continue to be a true man of God and that his life would manifest the godly fruits of the Spirit - that You desire to show forth in each of our lives.
You Lord are the light of the world, and I pray that this son of mine would continue to be a shining light reflecting the glory of Jesus in all that he says and does. I pray also that he would continue to be a man who lives his life in spirit and truth, casting away all the works of darkness, deception and falsehood and clothing himself with the armor of light, in this increasingly dark and dangerous world.
Lord, I pray Your emotional, physical, and spiritual protection over (name). Keep evil far from him and help him to trust You as his refuge and strength. I pray You will guard his mind from harmful instruction and grant him discernment to recognize truth. I pray You will make him strong and courageous in the presence of danger, recognizing that You have overcome and will set right all injustice and wrong one day. Help him to find rest in Your shadow, as he lives in the spiritual shelter You provide for him. Let him know that the only safe place is in Jesus, and that his home on earth is only temporary.
I pray that he would be willing to allow the searchlight of Your Holy Spirit to identify in him any areas in his life that may dishonor and displease You, and I ask that You guide him into all truth, so that in every way he is pleasing in Your sight. May his life be honoring to Your name and may he learn to walk in spirit and truth until his life’s end – in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen
