As parents, there may be times in our son’s life that are beyond our control. We feel that we can only do so much as he grows old. He will eventually make his own decisions and explore the world. May this prayer, “A Prayer for my Son”, help you.
Prayer for My Son
Almighty Father, thank You for giving my son to me. I am forever thankful that in this lifetime, you gave me a chance and the gift to be a parent to this wonderful human being. Today, I offer this prayer for my son so that he will grow to love You more each day of his life.
I pray, O Lord, that Your wisdom will find him in whatever activity task he will do. Grant him the clarity of thought to distinguish right from wrong. Send forth Your Holy Spirit so He can make decisions that will please You.
The world can be an overwhelming place, O Lord. There will be many difficulties he will face. I pray He will have the courage to survive the pain of necessary sacrifices.
- Eckhardt, John (Author)

Grant that he may see the value of the sacrifice Jesus Christ taught us. Let him understand that the road towards You will not be easy but will be worth it.
I pray that whatever he lacks, he will meet the right people to guide him back to You. I pray that he will treat his friends, loved ones, colleagues, and even strangers with the respect Jesus showed his mother and his disciples.
Bless him, Jesus. Make him see Your light through other people and shine Your light through him so that he can guide other people back to You.
Protect him, O Lord. There are many bad influences in society, like television, music, games, online, and other venues I may not know about.
Many things are beyond our control, and evil entities are in almost everything. Help my son, O Lord, that the attempts of evil to influence him will be known to him and will be rejected by him.
Lord, I pray for his success. More than earthly success, I pray that He may be successful in Your eyes. May your saints and angels help him build the talents that You gave him.
I pray that he will be able to maximize the gifts he was given and spread your light throughout the world so that he will find his place in this world.
Lord, may he have the strength to respond to your calling. Like Mama Mary, who was confused but accepted when the Angel asked her to be the bearer of God’s Son, help my son surrender in faith, even for decisions beyond his understanding.
Help me, O Lord. Make me your instrument. Give me wisdom so that I may strengthen his character, make him appreciate the values of our faith, and make him a man who will serve You and Your people.
Most of all, through this prayer for my son, help me teach him how to love You. Teach me the right words and deeds so that I can guide him back to You.
Lord, prepare me for this journey. You have given me my son as a gift, and the person he becomes is my gift to You.
