Prayer for child's eternal future (saved)

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. We believe [s/he] asked You into [his or her] little heart on [name date] at the age of [name age]. Lord, continue to open [his or her] heart and bring [him or her] to a full knowledge of the truth about You. May [name child] 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.
