A Prayer for a Child with Autism

Blog banner

Heavenly Father,

You are the Creator of all things, and in Your wisdom, You have formed each child fearfully and wonderfully.

I lift up this precious child to You— A beautiful soul, uniquely made in Your image, with a purpose that only You fully understand.

Lord Jesus, You who welcomed the little children and laid Your hands upon them, Please place Your healing, comforting hand upon this child.

Touch their heart, their mind, their body, and their spirit. Where there is frustration, bring peace. Where there is confusion, bring clarity.

Where there is silence, bring joyful expression. Where there is struggle, bring strength.

Holy Spirit, be present in our home and in our hearts. Give us patience, wisdom, and endurance.

Help us to love as You love—unconditionally and with joy.

Guide teachers, therapists, doctors, and caregivers to be instruments of Your grace. Surround our child with compassion, understanding, and protection.

May this child know deeply that they are not broken or forgotten—

They are cherished, seen, and held by You.

May their life shine with Your glory in ways we cannot yet see.

In the name of the Father,

and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
