Prayer for a Teenage Daughter

Father, in the Name of Jesus, I affirm Your Word over my teenager. I commit her to you and delight myself also in You. I thank You, that You deliver out of rebellion into right relationship with her parents.

Father, the first commandment with a promise is to the child who obeys her parents in the Lord. You said that all will be well with her and she will live long on the earth. I affirm this promise on behalf of my child asking You to give her an obedient spirit that she may honor (esteem and value as precious) those in right authority over her.

Father, forgive me for mistakes I made out of my own unresolved hurts or selfishness which may have caused her hurt. I release the anointing that is upon Jesus to bind up and heal our broken hearts. Give us the ability to understand and forgive one another as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven us.

Thank You for the Holy Spirit Who leads us into all truth and corrects erroneous perceptions about past or present situations.

Thank You for teaching us to listen to each other and giving her an ear that hears admonition for then she will be called wise. I affirm that I will speak excellent and princely things and the opening of my lips shall be for right things.

Father, I commit to train and teach her in the way that she is to go and when she is old, she will not depart from sound doctrine and teaching, but will follow it all the days of her life. In the Name of Jesus, I command rebellion to be far from the heart of my teenager and confess that she is willing and obedient, free to enjoy the reward of Your promises. She shall be peaceful bringing peace to others.

Father, I refuse to provoke or irritate or fret my child. I will not be hard on her lest she becomes discouraged, feeling inferior and frustrated. I will not break
her spirit in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Father, I forgive my teenager for the wrongs, which she has done and stand in the gap until she comes to her senses and escapes out of the snare of the enemy (rebellion). Thank You for watching over Your Word to perform it, turning and
reconciling the heart of the rebellious child to the parents and the hearts of the parents to the child. Thank You for bringing my teenager back into a healthy relationship with You and with me that our lives might glorify You!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
