Father, in the Name of Jesus, I affirm Your Word over my teenager. I commit him/her to you and delight myself also in You. I thank You that You deliver out of rebellion into right relationship with his/her parents.
Father, the first commandment with a promise is to the child who obeys his/her parents in the Lord. You said that all will be well with him/her and he/she will live long on the earth. I affirm this promise on behalf of my child asking You to give him/her an obedient spirit that he may honor (esteem and value as precious) those in right authority over him/her
Father, forgive me for mistakes I made out of my own unresolved hurts or selfishness which may have caused him hurt. I release the anointing that is upon Jesus to bind up and heal our broken hearts. Give us the ability to understand and forgive one another as God for Christ's sake has forgiven us. Thank You for the Holy Spirit Who leads us into all truth and corrects erroneous perceptions about past or present situations.
Thank You for teaching us to listen to each other and giving him/her an ear that hears admonition for then he/she will be called wise. I affirm that I will speak excellent and princely things and the opening of my lips shall be for right things.
Father, I commit to train and teach him/her in the way that he/her is to go and when he/she is old he/she will not depart from sound doctrine and teaching, but will follow it all the days of his/her life. In the Name of Jesus, I command rebellion to be far from the heart of my teenager and confess that he/she is willing and obedient, free to enjoy the reward of Your promises. He/she shall be peaceful bringing peace to others.
Father, according to Your Word we have been given the ministry of reconciliation and I release this ministry and the word of reconciliation into this family situation. I refuse to provoke or irritate or fret my child. I will not be hard on him/her lest he/she becomes discouraged, feeling inferior and frustrated. I will not break his/her spirit in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Father, I forgive my teenager for the wrongs which he/she has done and stand in the gap until he/she comes to his/her senses and escapes out of the snare of the enemy (rebellion).
Thank You for watching over Your Word to perform it, turning and reconciling the heart of the rebellious child to the parents and the hearts of the parents to the child.
Thank You for bringing my teenager back into a healthy relationship with You and with me that our lives might glorify You!
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
