Having prayers for your son to declare over himself is a powerful tool for him to gain confidence within himself and in the Lord.
When we can say and believe something every day out loud, it truly affects what we think. Speaking truths over ourselves rather than those lies Satan likes to throw at us can transform our thinking. Plus, our actions are determined by the thoughts that run through our head, which ultimately determines how we live life.
What if we get our sons to speak truth over themselves every day, especially starting at a young age? As the parent, we can help ingrain into the them the truth about how God views him and what he’s called to do and become.
Here are 11 prayers for your son to declare over himself on a daily basis:
1. I AM STRONG
Let’s get our boys to believe they are strong and not weak. That they are physically and spiritually strong in the Lord!
2. I CAN DO IT
As parents, we desire our boys to believe they can accomplish what is on their heart to their fullest potential. That they won’t allow the thoughts and opinions of this world get in their way. Believing they can pursue whatever is on their hearts, no matter what circumstance comes their way. These are the boys that will make the greatest difference in this world. So momma’s, let’s believe with them on this, that they CAN DO IT!
3. I AM SMART
Again, believing with them to pursue their hearts desire, we should also get them believing that they have the mind to pursue it. If we can get them to believe they are smart and have the creativity to run after it, it will boost their confidence. They will be able to hold their head a lot higher than if they believe if they are not smart.
4. I AM WISE
Right along with the “I am smart,” I want my boys to believe they are VERY WISE. That the directions they take in life are directed by the Lord. The discernment and wisdom inside of them will give them confidence pursuing life. Are boys are WISE!
5. I AM A CONQUEROR
Get your boys to believe they can conqueror anything that comes in their way (with the Lord’s help of course)!
6. I AM A MIGHTY WARRIOR
Every boy is called to be a warrior. So, he needs to believe that in order to follow through with that calling. Knowing his strength is in the Lord, helps equip him for the spiritual battles that come his way. (Ephesians 6:10-17)
7. I WILL PERSEVERE
Our boys will persevere. They will push through. No matter what comes their way, they will be reminded of this truth about themselves, that “I can persevere through this!”
8. I AM A LEADER
Because of the confidence our children can retain in the Lord, they will be a leader out into this world. Whether it’s in a quiet confidence way leading people, or leading the nations on a platform. Either one is a great way to fulfill their calling in being a leader for His Kingdom.
9. I WILL STAND UP FOR WHAT’S RIGHT
Since God desires integrity, that’s what I want for my boys as well. That no matter what, I pray they WILL stand up for what’s right!
10. I WILL FIGHT FOR MY GENERATION
Back to being equipped as a warrior, their heart’s desire will be to fight for their generation (in the spiritual realm). They will passionately pursue their desires to change and influence the generations around them.
11. I WILL CULTIVATE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
It is my husband and I’s desire for our children to maintain a positive attitude towards every circumstance. That the storms and winds in life won’t alter their perspective or attitude on God and life. Maintaining a bigger picture in life can help them keep a positive view.
Have your son speak these truths over himself EVERY SINGLE DAY! If your child is too young to speak, you could speak them over him as you tuck him in bed. Use these as your prayers over him.
Like I said, having prayers for your son to speak over himself is an extremely powerful tool. So, I’m offering these prayers to you for FREE. Simply fill out the form, print this out, place it into an 8×10 frame, and put it in his bedroom to pray and declare over himself.

Love these. As a teacher I feel like life can be a little tougher for boys who can’t always sit still for 95 straight minutes or follow all the structure to a “tee.” The more they can learn these things, the better. #hisgracegirls
Thanks, Brittany, agreed!
