The Teenage Dad
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 1 Corinthians 13:11
Lord, bless the Teenage Dad to know that although they are young, they can still be a responsible parent. Lord, I pray that the Teenage Dad will take responsibility for the life he has created, and not deny that he is the father, no matter how young he is.

Don’t let him abandon the Teenage Mom or arrange for the baby and or mom to be harmed. Don’t allow the baby to be aborted. In Jesus name. I pray he will not abuse the baby in any way. I pray that the father will be able to handle when the child is screaming and hollering. Especially, if the child is hollering excessively, due to the child being sick or spoiled. Lord, give the Teenage Dad patience and wisdom. Lord, bind up the hand of the enemy that would cause him to shake the baby to death. Give him patience and long-suffering. Allow his parents to help with the baby when it is needed if they can. I pray he does not put the baby in harm’s way, by leaving it with people that are not safe or trustworthy to keep the child.

Renew his mind. Let him know, taking care of a baby at his age is hard, but doable. Let him know that he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him. Lord, bind up the hand of the enemy, which would cause the father to hurt the baby while trying to show off on any type of social media. Let him realize that the baby is a human being that needs food, water, shelter, and oxygen to live this is not a toy. Don’t allow him to get any other girls pregnant again as a teenager.
PRAYERS FOR THE CHILDREN
Lord, I pray You will cover the teenager’s baby with Your blood. Don’t allow any harm to come near the baby. Lord, cover the child from feeling unwanted and feeling like they are a burden. Especially, when they get older. Don’t allow them to think they were a mistake. Lord, cover them against childhood death like Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (crib death). Cover them against accidents and incidents as they are growing. Cover them against any form of abuse as they are growing. Let them serve You in their youth.
