Find four prayers for when you need acceptance, to trust God, to gain strength, and your struggling child to seek God.
A Prayer for When You Need to Accept Your Childâs Troubles
Scripture:âBut Job replied, âYou talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?â So in all this, Job said nothing wrong.â- Job 2:10
Prayer: Oh, Lord, you know I get this wrong so often. I assume you only give good gifts so when troubles come Iâm disappointed in you. Thatâs the wrong way to view you. Help me understand you allow hardship because you care about my childâs relationship with you, more than their comfort. You are good. You are always good, even when difficulties arrive in my childâs life. Amen.
A Prayer for When You Want to Trust God More
Scripture: âThe Lord is my strength and shield .I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.â-Psalm 28:7
Prayer: Dear Lord, I know this season of my life is all about trusting you more. You love my grown kids more than I do, so help me lean into my relationship with you. Reveal your greatness and reassure me as you teach me how to trust you with my grown children. These kids are yours, and I trust you with my whole heart. I know you're working in unseen ways. I bless you for helping me. I praise your great name. Amen.
A Prayer for Finding Strength in God
Scripture: âO Lord, do not stay far away! You are my strength; come quickly to my aid!â-Psalm 22:19
Prayer:Lord, I must confess, there are so many times I feel weak when it comes to my adult kids' struggles. I become consumed with worry and I know thatâs not how you want me to live. Be my strength and shield. Help me understand apart from you I am weak and fragile. But when I lean on you, I am held, confident and secure. Be the strength of my life and my confidence forever. Amen.
A Prayer that Your Child Seeks God
Scripture:âIf you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.â-Jeremiah 29:13
Prayer: Papa, I ask you to draw my hurting child to your heart. Help them seek you with all their might. Help them lean into you through their suffering. Help them experience your love through these difficult days. When they are far from you, draw them closer, as you minister your love. Amen.

Learn three prayers for when you need to lament, stop fixing your childâs problems, and release your expectations for how your adult childâs life should unfold.
A Prayer of Lament When You Need to Be Honest with God
Scripture: âBend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help. Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you. You are my God.â Psalm 86:1-2
Prayer: Oh, God, it hurts deeply to see my child struggle. Iâm hurting and Iâm overcome with worry, but I know I need to run to you. So here I am, pouring it all out. I need your help. My child needs your help. Hear me and answer me because I love you and you love me. I know you are my faithful God. Amen.
A Prayer for Releasing the Need to Fix Your Child.
Scripture:âYou say, âI am allowed to do anythingââbut not everything is good for you. And even though âI am allowed to do anything,â I must not become a slave to anything.â Corinthians 6:12
Prayer: Dear God, you know I want to rush in and make everything better for my child. I could, but if I did, it would thwart their growth. So give me strength to understand what my child is responsible for and what Iâm responsible for. I do not want to get in the way of their maturing. Amen
A Prayer for Relinquishing Control of Outcomes.
Scripture: âYou can make many plans, but the Lordâs purpose will prevail.â- Proverbs 19:21
Prayer: God, you know I struggle with expectations about how my childâs life should go. Help me surrender my plans for your purposes. You, alone, know whatâs best for my adult child. I relinquish my desire to impact any outcomes. I know your plans and purposes are best. I accept them wholeheartedly. Amen.
