A Prayer for Our Kids to Follow Christ

Your Daily Prayer
About this episode

A heartfelt prayer, based on Psalm 23, for parents, grandparents, and caregivers who long for their children to walk faithfully with Christ. Drawing from the timeless comfort of Psalm 23, Kristine Brown reminds us that although we can’t control the spiritual choices our children make, we can intercede for them in prayer—and trust in God’s faithfulness to guide and protect them.

Today's Bible Verse: Psalm 23:6 (ESV) – “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”


💡 Key Takeaways

  • Psalm 23 offers not only personal comfort but also a spiritual blueprint to pray over our children.

  • God sees and knows your child’s journey—every joy and every challenge—and He promises to be with them through it all.

  • Our role is to sow seeds of faith, to speak God’s Word over our children, and to rely on the power of prayer.

  • Even when your children stray or struggle, the Lord’s goodness and mercy are still in pursuit of them.


✍️ Featured Scripture

  • Psalm 23

  • 2 Thessalonians 3:3 – “But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.”

  • Deuteronomy 6:7 – Teaching God’s Word diligently to our children
