Praying for our children when they are ill is something that I want to believe we all always do even if we haven’t prayed in a long time. Especially when you have a new born baby or toddler that can’t speak or tell you exactly where it hurts.
I’ve been there and I can remember just praying and trusting God to guide the doctors. Even as we began this challenge, right on the first day, I had to pray for healing for my daughter. Praise God she is well and fine now.
The health of our children is so important. When they are well, they can do many things, pursue their dreams and even more follow Christ and serve him. Today, we would be visiting their health and praying about it.

Prayers
- Lord, I thank you that you did not give [Child/ren’s name] a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but you have given [Child/ren’s name] the spirit of power, of love and of a sound mind, I pray that the mind of [Child/ren’s name] is always sound and [Child/ren’s name] exhibits abilities that results in a calm, well balanced mind and self control in Jesus Name.
- Lord, thank you for the gift of healing made available to [Child/ren’s name]. I know that what you give, you do not withdraw. So Lord, I rely on the promise of your word that healing remains our daily bread. Everyday [Child/ren’s name] wakes up, he/she feeds on it and goes about their day in health in Jesus Name.
- Lord, I pray that [Child/ren’s name] will listen carefully to your voice regarding what to eat and not to eat. I pray that even when the pressure to not care about what he/she eats seems to overwhelming, [Child/ren’s name] is reminded that his/her body is your temple and that [Child/ren’s name] has been bought with a prize. I pray that by this, they will not put into their body, anything that will cause sickness and diseases in Jesus Name.
- Lord, I pray that when [Child/ren’s name] comes to you in faith for healing upon their body, you will hear and heal [Child/ren’s name]. You said that if we obey you and do what is right in your eyes, the sicknesses of the Egyptians will not come on us. I pray [Child/ren’s name] will always do what is right in your eyes, listen to you carefully and obey you with all their heart in Jesus Name.
- Lord, I pray that at anytime we may need to go to the hospital, you will station covenant doctors, nurses, specialists on call for us. I pray that [Child/ren’s name] will never be the victim of human or medical error. I pray that the right diagnosis will be reached and the right medications will be prescribed in Jesus Name.
- Lord, I pray that at anytime [Child/ren’s name] is sick and has to take medications, they will be to [Child/ren’s name]’s body the body and blood of Jesus that cleanses and purifies. I pray that the food [Child/ren’s name] eats and the water they drink will continually be for the nourishment of their bodies providing vitality and strength in Jesus Name.
- Lord, by your stripes we are healed. The beatings you got brought to us wholeness. I declare over [Child/ren’s name] that whatever discomfort they are experiencing in their body is replaced with wholeness and whatever illness looking to show up or has already shown up is met with the stripes that brings healing in Jeus Name.
Lord I pray that even when the healing isn’t in sight, you will give me grace to trust you to heal my child in Jesus name.
I hope you have taken time to pray and let’s pray again tomorrow.
God bless you.
