I thank You, Father, in Jesus’ name that You give my husband (or his name) wisdom, knowledge and discernment in rearing his children tenderly in the training, discipline, counsel, and admonition of the Lord.
I confess that he does not irritate or provoke his children to anger or exasperate them to resentment.
I confess that my husband does not indulge his angry resentment on his children by undue chastisements and set himself to their ruin.
I confess that he will not be hard on his children or harass them, lest they become discouraged and sullen, morose and feel inferior and frustrated.
I ask and thank You, Lord, for the love of the Father God to flow through my husband toward his children.
I confess that my husband teaches and commands his children to keep the way of the Lord and to do what is just and righteous.
I believe and confess that he is a doer of the Word of God so that his children will learn to walk in truth by his example.
I ask You, Holy Spirit, to turn the heart of my husband toward his children and the hearts of his children be turned toward their father, in the Name of Jesus.
In Jesus’ Name, I take authority over every spirit of pride, rebellion, rejection, division and fear that would try to hinder the relationship between my husband and his children.
I decree that no weapon formed against them shall prosper in the Name of Jesus.
I confess and believe that my husband is a good example and a good father to his children.
Thank you, Holy Spirit, for hovering over my husband and our children.
I praise You and I give You all of the glory in the Name of Jesus.
