Prayer for Christening Baby Boy
Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with hearts full of gratitude and joy as we celebrate the christening of this precious baby boy, whom You have fearfully and wonderfully made. Lord, we acknowledge that this child is a gift from You, entrusted into our care, and we dedicate him to You on this sacred day.
Father, we ask for Your divine presence to surround him as he begins his journey of faith. May Your love, grace, and mercy be upon him all the days of his life. Bless him with a heart that seeks after You, a mind that is filled with Your wisdom, and a spirit that is strong and courageous in the face of life’s challenges.
Lord, we pray that You would guide his steps and direct his path. May he grow in the knowledge of Your truth, walking in righteousness and love. Protect him from harm, shield him from temptation, and keep him safe in Your embrace. Let him always find comfort in Your presence and strength in Your promises.
Bless his parents, Lord, as they raise him in Your ways. Grant them wisdom, patience, and unwavering faith as they nurture him in love and teach him Your Word. May their home be filled with peace, joy, and the light of Your presence, and may they always lead him by example in faith and righteousness.
We lift up his godparents and all who will play a role in his spiritual growth. May they be faithful in their commitment to support, encourage, and guide him in his walk with You. Give them hearts full of love and wisdom to help him grow into the person You have created him to be.
Lord, we ask for Your abundant blessings upon this child. May he be a beacon of light in this world, a testimony of Your goodness and grace. Let his life be filled with joy, kindness, and compassion, and may he always seek to glorify You in all that he does.
Thank You, Father, for the gift of this child and for the privilege of dedicating him to You today. We entrust his life into Your hands, knowing that You have a perfect plan and purpose for him. May he always walk in Your love and grow in faith, becoming a reflection of Your grace and truth.
In Jesus’ name, we pray,
Amen.
