God Bless My Child With A Good Outlook On Life

Father, bless my child with a hope filled life; may he have a constant lookout for the best as a child of God. I want him to be full of great expectations when he wakes up in the mornings. I want him to understand the promises in Your Word are for him.

Develop within him positive characteristics to carry him through life. Place in the forefront of these characteristics --- hope. Build within him evidence of this unseen strength.

As people talk to him may this attitude be contagious. When he speaks, let people hear the confidence he has in You to secure his future.

Grant him peace on his journey. When the fog rolls in and shortens the distance of vision, his outlook will remain unchanged. Set his gaze on You.

Secure his hope to never be less than what You are able to accomplish.

Paul said, “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14) Fix his sights on the goal and encourage his mindset to be finishing the race with an untiring confident trust in His God.

In the Name of Jesus ---Amen

God Bless My Child with the Favor of Man

1 Samuel 2:26, “And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the Lord and men.”

Lord, as my child grows and he is blessed by Your hand and favor, let the favor of men also follow.

As he matures and perfects the gifts You give him, let others seek out these abilities to be used; may they bring advancement to him.

Allow growth in wisdom, bringing light to darkness for those around him.
 

May he possess qualities that cause influential people to look to him.

Through everyday encounters, grant favor toward my son.  Ordain a favorable walk throughout my his life.
 

Lord, bless him on his journey.  May he always know that Your presence is with him and Your hand is upon him.

Thank you, Father, for Your never-ending blessing.

In the Name of Jesus---Amen
