Words are powerful. But the most powerful words are God’s words.
As parents, we know the words we use in our child’s life have the power either to bless or curse. We also know we need to be intentional with those words and pray for our children in the battles they face daily.
Praying Biblical blessings for your children is an effective way to bring God’s blessings into their lives, and see His power work in their hearts.
By speaking prayers of blessing over them, we are claiming God’s favor in their lives, as well as claiming the promises of His Word for them.
To bless someone actually means “to speak well of.”
Praying Biblical blessings for your children is simply using your God-given authority to verbally affirm Scripture truths and promises into your children while also claiming those truths for them. A blessing is a prayer asking for God’s favor and protection. It is a declaration of God’s truth over your child’s life.

An easy way of blessing your children is simply speaking God’s Word over them daily. In a Biblical blessing, you combine powerful words with Scriptural prayers.
To do this, find a Scripture that reflects your dreams and desires for them, or one which claims a Scripture truth for them. Pray it for them or speak it aloud over them.
This would a great idea for praying with your children at bedtime. They would go to sleep with those words of blessing in their minds.
