A Prayer of Restoration*
Heavenly Father,
I lift up my precious child/children to You, asking that they may continually examine their heart and faith. Grant them the wisdom and clarity to test their own feelings, thoughts, values and beliefs, realizing deeply that Christ Jesus dwells within them.
I trust in Your guidance and pray that they will stand firm in their faith, passing every test that comes their way.
Lord, I ask that You guard their heart and actions, so they will do nothing wrong. Not for the sake of appearances, or for my sake, but because doing what is right brings glory to Your name.
May they hold fast to the truth and live in accordance with Your will, for I know that nothing can stand against Your truth.
Thank You, Father, for the strength You give us, even in our weaknesses. Strengthen my child/children to overcome any and all of my deficiencies as their parent.
My deep desire is for my child/children to be strong in spirit and fully restored in their relationship with You. I place them in Your loving hands, trusting in Your perfect plan.
In Jesus' name, I pray,
Amen.
