Parent’s dedication for the child

Here is a prayer you can adapt or pray as it is both privately, just you and Father God, or before a minister in church.

Father, in Jesus’ holy name, we come before You on this special day to present to You, to consecrate to You, to dedicate to You, to give back to You, this, our sweet baby that You have given us. Lord, we realize that we are only stewards of this special gift from You. Only You create life. This baby is Your baby. You said I must teach my children of You and Your commandments. You promised that if we would train up our child in the way he would not depart from it when he is old. You promised that if children would honor their parents it would be well with them (not sick but well) and they would live long on the earth. You said they would be disciples of the Lord, taught and obedient to the Lord and great would be their peace and undisturbed composure. Thank You for these promises and commandments. Thank You for our baby.

This day, before You and the host of heaven and all other witnesses, we come to present to You in solemn dedication our baby. We consecrate as parents to not provoke hime to wrath, but to bring him up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We commit to You to train him up in Your ways and he won’t depart from them. We promise to teach him of You, Your ways, Your Word, Your will. We promise to train him by example and demonstration as well as our words. We promise to discipline him according to Your Word. We promise to love and care for him and bathe him in prayer from this day forward. We commit this baby into Your care. You can be omnipresent; I can’t always be there, but You can. Your angels have charge over him to keep him in all his ways and life him up lest he dash his foot against a stone. We pray that this child be healthy, whole, complete, blessed, and prosperous spirit, soul and body. We bind the forces of hell and the devil in Jesus’ name to stay away from our family in every area of our lives. We decree that Jesus be enthroned above all else in our family at all times in Jesus’ name. Amen.
