A Binding Prayer for the Conversion of Our Adult Children

BeautySoAncient  

This prayer was recommended by Fr. Chad Ripperger, and falls under the category of binding and loosing prayers. 

One of the most painful trials parents face is when their children leave the faith. 

It happens more than people realize.

Often, our children’s forays into the darkness are the result of demonic influence, which means we can use a binding prayer to counteract this influence.

The following binding prayer is not specifically for conversion of children. It is a general binding prayer,  but it can be used on yourself and anyone you have authority over, like your children.

The demons would love to claim our children for their own, but God is all powerful and he won’t let that happen. 

The following prayer is found in Fr Chad Ripperger’s book of binding & loosing prayers called, Deliverance Prayers – For Use By the Laity, in order to help with spiritual warfare.

“N” can be any particular vice or issue that you are praying against.  For example, if your child is cohabitating, you might want to pray against the spirit of fornication – fornicationis in Latin.

A list of names of spirits can be found in Fr Chad Ripperger’s book, Deliverance Prayers – For Use By the Laity.
