Lord, I come to You in Jesus' name and give (name of child) to You. I'm convinced that You alone know what is best for him(her).
You alone know what he(she) needs. I release him(her) to You to care for and protect, and I commit myself to pray for everything concerning him(her) that I can think of or that You put upon my heart.
Teach me how to pray and guide me in what to pray about. Help me not to impose my own will when I'm praying for him(her), but rather enable me to pray that Your will be done in his(her) life. Thank You that I can partner with You in raising him(her) and that I don't have to do it alone.
In Jesus' name I pray.
The mercy of the Lord is from
everlasting to everlasting on those
who fear Him, and His righteousness
to children's children, to such as keep
His covenant, and to those who
remember His commandments to do
them.
PSALM 103:17-18
