Prayer for My Son–Your son is your seed. He is a reflection
of you. He bears your family name and also grows up to grow
a family of his own, thereby increasing the branches of your
family tree. He is responsible to raise another generation to
fulfill the mandate of God to:
“…Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish j the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth
upon the earth” (Genesis 1:28)
Therefore, he needs your prayers.
“And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him,
and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters
of Canaan. Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel
thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the
daughters of Laban thy mother's brother. And God Almighty
bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou
mayest be a multitude of people” (Genesis 28:1-3).
Experience: As someone who has gone to head of him in life,
you must have had experiences that will be useful in helping
you to pray for him. That is one of the reasons why you qualify
to pray for him.
Priesthood: Praying for your son is one of your priestly roles
over his life and destiny.

earth, direct his paths in Jesus name. Do not let him make
destiny mistakes in Jesus name.

till he breathes his last in this world in Jesus name.
