For Teenager

Father, in the name of Jesus, I affirm your Word over my teenager. I commit him/her to you and delight myself also in you. I thank you that you have delivered them out of rebellion and into right relationship with his/her parents.

 

Father, the first commandment with a promise is for the child who obeys his parents in the Lord. You said that all will be well with him and he will love long on the earth. I affirm this promise on behalf of my child asking you to give him an obedient spirit that he may honor (esteem and value as precious) those in right authority over him.

 

Thank You for teaching us to listen to each other and giving him an ear that hears admonition for then he will be called wise. I affirm that I will speak excellent and princely things and the opening of my lips shall be for right things. Fathe r, I commit to train and teach him in the way that he is to go and when he is old he will not depart from sound doctrine and teaching, but will follow it all the days of his life. In the Name of Jesus, I command rebellion to be far from the heart of my teenager and confess that he is willing and obedient, free to enjoy the reward of Your promises. He shall be peaceful bringing peace to others. In Jesus Name, Amen. 

For Parent

Father, according to Your Word we have been given the ministry of reconciliation and I release this ministry and the word of reconciliation into this family situation. I refuse to provoke or irritate or fret my child. I will not be hard on him lest he becomes discouraged, feeling inferior and frustrated. I will not break his spirit in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Father, I forgive my teenager for the wrongs which he has done and stand in the gap until he comes to his senses and escapes out of the snare of the enemy (rebellion). Thank You for watching over Your Word to perform it, turning and reconciling the heart of the rebellious child to the parents and the hearts of the parents to the child. Thank You for bringing my teenager back into a healthy relationship with You and with me that our lives might honor you!  In Jesus' Name, Amen.
