Prayer for child's eternal future (unsaved)

Dear Lord,

I bring [name child] before You and ask that You would help [him or her] grow into a deep understanding of who You are. Open [his or her] heart and bring [him or her] to a full knowledge of the truth about You. Lord, You say in Your word, "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9). I pray for that kind of faith for [name child]. May [s/he] call You [his or her] Savior, be filled with Your Holy Spirit, acknowledge You in every area of [his or her] life, and choose always to follow You and Your ways. Help [him or her] to fully believe that Jesus laid down His life for [him or her] so that [s/he] might have life eternally and abundantly now. Help [him or her] to comprehend the fullness of Your forgiveness so that [s/he] will not live in guilt and condemnation.

I pray that [s/he] will live a fruitful life, ever increasing in the knowledge of You. May [s/he] always know Your will, have spiritual understanding, and walk in a manner that is pleasing in Your sight. You say in Your word that You will pour out Your spirit on my offspring (Isaiah 44:3). I pray that You would pour out Your spirit upon [name child] this day.

Thank you, Lord, that You care about [his or her] eternal future even more than I do and that it is secure in You. In Jesus' name I pray that [name child] will not doubt or stray form the path You have for [his or her] all the days of [his or her] life. Amen.
