 Warfare Prayers
for my gender confused child
Dear God,

I will have to depend on you for my child's

challenges today. Help them know that they
were handknitted by your hand, Lord. You
made them a masterpiece as you created
them so uniquely. Jesus, in your name and
through the authority you have given to me,
I bind the lies of the enemy that have
clouded my child's mind and thoughts about
their gender.

I bind any confusion in Jesus' name. God, I

loose a clear identity in Christ, your only Son
from the heavens. I release from heaven a
sound mind of Christ for my child so that
they confidently know who they are in you,
oh God.

In the blood of Jesus, we pray.

I love you, Amen.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of
God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 NIV
 Warfare Prayers
for my alcohol addicted child

Dear God,

Jesus help me break the chains that hold my

child in bondage to alcohol. The scriptures
share that we have authority over the power of
Satan and the strongholds he holds over us. In
the energy and blood of your name Jesus, I
bind the enemy over my child, and I cast down
the devil's hold on my child with alcohol, and
Jesus, I release freedom from the addiction, I
release your peace. I release you unconditional
love and mercy for my child.
Jesus, thank you that I can come to you with
anything and hear my prayers.

Please help me as a parent to help guide and

warfare parent for my child until they find
freedom in your blood.

In Jesus name.
I love you, Amen.

For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh

but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
2 Corinthians 10:4 ESV
Warfare Prayers
for my depressed child
Dear God,

I lift my child that battles depression. Would

you please help them find the strength to
press through these dark hours? Lord, you
tell us that joy comes in the morning after
battle-weary nights. In the name of Jesus, I
bind sadness and despair off of my child. I
declare through the power of Christ that the
devil will not speak lies into my child's
thoughts of death.

Jesus, I bind the enemy and any demonic

influence. In the blood of Jesus, I loose joy,
smiles, and comfort to my child. I loose from
heaven a turn around quickly for my child's
brokenness so that they be made free, whole,
and happy.

In the blood of Jesus.

I love you, Amen.

Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes

with the morning. Psalm 30:5 ESV
Warfare Prayers
for my Defiant Child
Dear God,

I lay at your feet Lord, my defiant child.

Lord, you see the resistance on all levels
my child is giving. Jesus, you are the only
one that can deliver my child from this
defiance. In the name of Jesus, I bind the
obstinate, noncompliant, and rebellion off
of my child. I pray Jesus that you bind any
demonic voices that lie to my child and
make him react in opposition to doing
what is right. Jesus, I loose from heaven an
immediate touch of respect for me to
guide my child to make the right decisions.
Father help me discipline my defiant child
to be set free from self-sabotaging actions.

In the blood of Jesus.

I love you, Amen.

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this

pleases the Lord. Colossians 3:20 ESV
 Warfare Prayers
for my self-destructive child
Dear God,

In your word, you give us the power to defeat

the enemy with scripture. Father, today I lift my
child to the heavens and ask that you deliver
them from the tempting tastes of the world. In
the name of Jesus and through His power, I pray
my child loses the lust for this world. I bind any
enemy tactics or temptations that would trap
my child into worldly pleasures. Father, in your
word, it says that we can taste your goodness
and know your kindness, and I ask that you
loose that from heaven for my child today.
Father, please turn my child from destructive
behaviors through the blood of your Son, Jesus,
so that they will live the life that the enemy
came to seek, kill and destroy, but Jesus came so
that we can live life fully free.

In the blood of Jesus.

I love you, Amen.

Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see- how
good God is. Blessed are you who run to him. Psalm 34:8
