Prayer For Kids Behavior
26.
God, I need something to change. I feel like my children and my family and I are just in an endless cycle heading downward. We keep having the same arguments, the same problems, and there doesn’t seem to be any way to break the cycle. Can you show me a new path to take? Amen.
27.
Lord, I sincerely pray that I find joy and peace even on this difficult day with my kids. I just want to know you’re present with me. I want to feel your touch upon me, calming my nerves, and giving me strength. Amen.
28.
God, Help me to see my children the way you see them. I know that your love is perfect, and you see them and love them even more than myself! Lord, it’s been a difficult day, and I just need to have Your vision imparted on me today, so I can see more clearly. Amen.
29.
Lord, in whatever way, I pray that this day would get better. I really need something to change, or some good news to happen. I am afraid that all the craziness that’s been going on with my children is just going to continue all day long, and I just don’t know if I have it in me to go all day like this. We need a change, here and now. Amen.
30.
Lord, I love my children. I love my family. I love my life. Help me to be positive, help me to laugh more, relax more, and enjoy much more. You’re amazing God, thank you for being with me always. Amen.
We hope the prayer for kids behavior is beneficial for you and helps bring God’s peace and strength to your heart.
Additional Resources
One final thing, as I was creating this prayer list I thought it might be beneficial to share a fabulous blog that speaks to behavior issues, Your Kid’s Table.
My sister Alisha is a certified Occupational Therapist. She has spent her career helping young ones with eating problems and sensory issues and her website focuses on both of these areas.
Sometimes problems are happening with our children and all we see are the symptoms. Maybe your child is needing some help with eating or they are over/understimulated. These things can create disharmony in your home. Through practical steps, you can start proactively working on what your child may need. I encourage you to check out her blog and see if she might be a tool for you and your family!
Again, that’s www.yourkidstable.com. Good luck and best wishes, parents…keep praying!
We also have a great article about worry and how you can turn that anxiety into peace. “How To Turn Worry Into Peace.”

Thank you!
Trina, GREAT! This is exactly what we hoped for when we created these prayer lists. We wanted to make something that was quick and easy so that people could reference these prayers to help center themselves. Thanks for sharing!
I’m bawling reading these prayers bc I feel every one of them. Thank you for putting my thoughts and feelings in a prayer when I just wanna give up.
I’m so glad these prayers hit home 🙂
I need all prayer warriors my 8 year daughter is just out of control shes in 3rd grade a city wide testing grade things are just not looking up for her but im praying everyday the more i pray it seems like the devil is just taking us down further into the pit of hell the only thing i know how to do is pray each prayer hits home
Hi Ebby,
I don’t say this lightly, prayer is the best thing you could be doing right now. When we are out of answers, out of ideas, frustrated, confused, stressed, worried, scared, prayer is the absolute answer. Sometimes miracles happen right away, but more often than not, it is a process of slowly uncovering God’s path and to find true healing. As a former child with emotional/behavioral problems, I know that prayer helped equip my mom and that prayer is the reason why I am who I am today, a Christian ministry professional. When there seems like there is no hope, I assure you there is always hope. Jesus overcame death which was an unthinkable act and God can do the same for your beloved little girl. Ask God to bring the right people into your life for help. Ask Him to provide the way and He will. If you continually seek God, God will make Himself known. He will help you through this storm. I will be praying for you and your little girl that God’s peace and love infiltrates all areas of both of your lives. Hang in their mom, you doing the best for your little girl seeking God!
Please pray for me. My four year old is getting close to getting kicked out of early preschool. He hits the parents, throws tantrums and tries to knock over stuff. He’s only four. My husband and I didn’t have these problems at our age. Talking and spanking isn’t working. He doesn’t act up in the church nursery or Sunday School. He likes his teacher’s very much. Don’t know what else to do. We prayed but it seems like he’s getting worse.
LaFonda,
I’m sorry you are having such a hard time with your four-year-old. I’d like to say a prayer for you right now:
God,
I lift up this little boy to You into your heavenly, good, and capable hands. Reveal what might be troubling this little boy and give him the help and tools he needs. Lord you are the mighty Father and this little boy needs your tenderness and your stability, so please allow that to penetrate him. God I ask that if there is something medically or even psychologically happening with this boy, that it would be revealed so he can get the help he may need. Bring him to joy and I pray that whatever is troubling him can become clear and he can gain composure and peace. I also pray for all of his loved ones that they are empowered and equipped through your love, strength, and presence. Thank you, God for always being with us and loving us even when we cannot feel it. Our lives are nothing without You. Amen.

I’m so sorry you are going through a rough time. I hope that you find joy in this suffering, James 1:2-4. I would like to lift a prayer up for you and your son Michael.
Father,
Please bring your love and joy to Nancy and Michael. Allow them to feel your warmth and goodness. They are going through a lot right now and life is very difficult. I ask that You show up in unexpected ways and shower them with your Fruit. I ask that peace replaces fear and joy replaces sadness. Hold them in your strength and love God and help them to feel You with them always. Thank you for always taking such amazing care of us, amen.
