Prayers for Adult Children

Our role as parent never ends. The job description changes, but the job is never done. To me, the job as a mom was more comfortable when children were small. As grown adults, they are out of hands. Their decisions, choices, and actions belong to them. The only thing can do as their mother is pray.

In today's world, our adult children face trials and obstacles unimagined when we were young adults. Our grown children need us to pray for them. We need to pray for their plans, wisdom, and protection. Praying for our adult children invites God to work in their lives and gives us comfort that only the One who can will.

Each day we pray for the ones in our life that we love and for those who love us. We believe in the power of prayer, but most importantly we believe in the power of love.

Prayer for struggling son. We live in a world where it's easier to find people to diagnose a problem than to offer a solution. Instead of focusing on what's causing you pain, let's focus on what's causing you gain. Prayers for Adult Children is dedicated to our new audience members who are parents, either of their own children or children of other people. We want to take their burdens away and show them God's love in all the little and big ways.

The entrance to adulthood is scary. This new season of life is filled with new responsibilities, expectations, and a lot of unknowns. Praying for our sons and daughters to bravely enter their adult lives with confidence and the presence of God gives us comfort and our children the courage and guidance they need.

Dear Lord, fill children with the maturity and confidence to step into adulthood. Help them face the unknowns and expectations ahead with maturity and discernment. Guide them to put away things of their youth that do not benefit them in their adulthood and take up the things that make them caring, productive adults. Lead them toward godly pursuits and not childish desires.

No matter how old sons become, will forever be concerned about their safety and well-being. When they were small, that was a full-time job protecting them from busy streets and hot stoves, but as adults, they are out of my reach and view. But not God's. He has the power to protect them from anything that may be harmful. He watches over them. Let us pray for their protection from harm.

Sometimes a child chooses a path that leads to despair and sin. As parents, it's hard to watch our sons and daughters make bad choices and suffer the fallout. Even harder is to watch as they continue to go down a road of destruction. In those times, we remember that God knows our pain, loves our children more than we do, and He is working in their lives, whether we see it or not. Our job during this time is to wait for God. While we wait, we watch for them to come down the road home.
