Children are among the greatest gifts God gives to any family. They are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3) and a blessing that carries the hope of future generations. However, the enemy often targets children because of their potential, innocence, and destiny. Attacks against children can manifest in various forms — sickness, strange behavioral changes, bad influences, sudden accidents, spiritual oppression, nightmares, fear, or even premature death.
Scripture shows us that Satan has always sought to destroy children. Pharaoh ordered the killing of Hebrew baby boys (Exodus 1:16), and Herod attempted to kill baby Jesus by massacring infants in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:16). These were not ordinary acts but spiritual attempts to abort destiny and silence the future deliverers of Israel.
Even today, there are spiritual and physical battles waged against children. Some face emotional wounds from abuse, rejection, or neglect. Others are attacked in their health, academics, or relationships. Some children are drawn into bad company, addiction, or rebellion — all attempts by the enemy to derail their God-given path.
But God has given parents the authority to stand in the gap and fight for their children through prayer. As a parent, guardian, or intercessor, you can plead the blood of Jesus over your children, break every satanic agenda against them, and release God’s angels to watch over their lives.
This prayer is designed to cover your children, protect their destinies, and ensure that no evil plan of the enemy will prevail over them. As you pray, believe that God is putting a hedge of protection around your children, making them untouchable, and guiding them into a future filled with peace, joy, and fulfillment of destiny.
Powerful Prayer Against Attacks on Your Children
Almighty God, I come before You today as a parent, guardian, and intercessor on behalf of my children. I thank You because they are a heritage from You, fearfully and wonderfully made for Your glory.
Lord, I present my children before Your throne of grace. I plead the blood of Jesus over their spirit, soul, and body. I decree that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises in judgment against them is condemned in Jesus’ name.
Father, I cancel every plan of the enemy to harm my children. Every agenda of sickness, accident, failure, or premature death is destroyed by the power of the Holy Spirit. I break every generational curse, evil covenant, and negative pattern that seeks to repeat itself in their lives.
Lord, place Your hedge of protection around them. Just as You placed a mark on Cain to keep him from harm (Genesis 4:15), mark my children for divine exemption from evil. Let Your angels encamp around them wherever they go — in school, at home, on the road, and among friends.
I pray that my children will not be victims of spiritual attacks or demonic oppression. Cover their dreams and thoughts. Remove every fear, confusion, and negative influence. Replace them with peace, wisdom, and the mind of Christ.
Father, I ask that You order their steps. Lead them away from wrong friendships and dangerous paths. Surround them with godly mentors, teachers, and friends who will guide them in Your ways.
I declare that my children will excel in their academics, careers, and calling. Their light will shine brightly, and no darkness will overshadow them. They will fulfill their divine assignments and live to declare the works of the Lord.
Thank You, Father, because I believe my children are protected, preserved, and destined for greatness. I seal this prayer in the blood of Jesus. Amen.

Conclusion
Children are treasures, and the enemy knows it — that’s why he fights so hard to attack them. But as believers, we have been given authority through Christ to protect them in prayer, cover them in the blood, and frustrate every satanic agenda against their lives.
Today’s prayer has broken every curse, cancelled every demonic plot, and silenced every voice of accusation against your children. You have activated divine protection over their lives, and God has released His angels to watch over them.
But protection is not a one-time event — it is a lifestyle. Make it a habit to pray over your children daily, speaking life and destiny over them. Declare God’s Word when they leave the house, when they sleep, and when they face challenges. Your prayers create a spiritual shield around them.
Also, be spiritually alert. Pay attention to your children’s dreams, behavior, and emotional state. Sometimes, attacks begin subtly — through nightmares, fear, sickness, or rebellion. Address these quickly with prayer and Scripture before they grow stronger.
Teach your children about God’s Word early. Let them know they are covered by the blood of Jesus and encourage them to pray for themselves. This builds their spiritual confidence and shields them from peer pressure and negative influences.
From today, you and your family will no longer fear evil reports concerning your children. You will hear testimonies of their safety, excellence, and success. Your children will rise as beacons of light in their generation, and no plan of the enemy will cut short their destinies.
