I remember hearing a woman of great faith, Joyce Meyer say once, " the  greatest gift a mother can give to her children is her prayers “.

We all pray for our children and seek God’s blessings upon them. Yet I have learnt  that  declaring God’s promises over our children when we pray  is the most effective approach as it aligns our prayers with God’s perfect will for their lives. 

Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 1:20 – All the promises of God are ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen’ in Christ Jesus. 

In Luke 8:11, Jesus declared that the Word of God is like a seed. When we consistently speak God’s promises over our children, we are planting the seeds of His promises in their lives that will bring a rich harvest in due time. 

Ecclesiastes 11:6 says,  Sow your seed in the morning, and in the evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well. 

Just as seeds planted in the ground require time to sprout, grow, and produce fruit, so too does the seed of God’s Word . Like farmers who patiently await the rains to nourish their crops, we must patiently await for the Spirit of God to nurture the seeds we are sowing  in our children’s lives -James 5:7 .

Isaiah 55:11 says, so is my word that goes out from my mouth. It will not return to me empty,but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

To all the mothers feeling saddened and disheartened at this time because of  the waywardness of your children , I want to encourage you that  God sees you, your tears, and promises healing and restoration for your children. Jeremiah 31:16-17  says,  Thus says the Lord: Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord; and [your children] shall return from the enemy’s land. And there is hope for your future, says the Lord; your children shall come back to their own country.

Our God faithfully rewards those who diligently  seek Him. As we persistently pray and declare His promises over our children, He will  surely fulfill His word and bring restoration in our children’s  lives.

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” says the Lord – Mathew 24:35

Below are the scripture  promises I’ve collected thus far. Let us boldly declare them over our children regularly, knowing that the One who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). This practice will undoubtedly prove to be the greatest gift and investment we can make for our children throughout their lifetime.
