As parents, grandparents, mentors, and leaders, we have been given the incredible power to make a difference in the world through the lives of the children we love.

And though many of us pray for our kids daily and strongly believe in the power of prayer, it’s sometimes hard to know how to pray strategically, or even what exactly to pray for.
Babies are a miraculous gift from God, and we are encouraged throughout Scripture to watch over them and keep them safe. Mostly we are to surrender them to the Lord for His perfect care.
A prayer for your baby or a loved one’s baby blesses the baby and the baby’s family (and you too).

10 Prayers for the Baby’s Protection
- Father God, the world is a scary place. You know that. As we raise our baby, I ask You to protect him as he walks through this life as a stranger and an alien here. Prepare him for all You have for him.
- My Lord and God, my baby and I are alone. As you protect me, I pray you to protect him from anything evil that may seek to make him veer off the perfect course You have for him.
- Lord Jesus, we stand at a crossroads. Please protect us and our baby. Protect him from wrong decisions as he grows and protects him from lying lips and evildoers.
- God, we need You to protect us from anything that may harm our baby. Protect us from predators and from anyone who may try to get to him through us.
- Lord God, as we travel, I pray You will protect us and our baby from harm. Set Your mighty angels in charge around us as we drive and fly to our destination.
- Father, it’s a long night to bear as my husband works the third shift. I pray You will protect my baby and me from any harm.
- Lord, this is the first time I will not have my baby with me. I love (the person watching him), but I am nervous about being away from him. Please watch over him and give me peace as You do.
- You are a good God, and You are holy. I praise You as I ask for You to protect my baby as he gets his first immunization shots. Please protect him from any adverse reactions and let this shot do the intended work.
- Jesus, protect my baby as he sleeps in his crib alone for the first time. I might have all the technology in the world at my fingertips, but You, mighty Lord, are sovereign over all. Thank You!
- Lord, protect my baby from anything that might creep into his mind. Protect him from nightmares and bad images as he sleeps. And protect him from the devil’s ploys to keep him from You.
