50+ Powerful Scriptures to Speak Over Children

The idea to write out these powerful scriptures for kids started while I was doing the Bible Study, The Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer (affiliate link). If you haven’t sat under her teaching, you are missing out. I’ve done a handful of her studies, and I always walk away feeling better grounded in the Word of God.

This study was no different.

On one of the reference pages, she provides the following list of scriptures. I have adapted the statements slightly to make them “You are…” statements. I also chose some different wording for the statements as well as a few different scriptures than what she chose.

As I read the scriptures for myself, I quickly realized how much I wanted my children to believe deeply these truths about their identity.

We can fall into the trap of reading the Bible and thinking it is all about US instead of God’s story about HIM. It’s always important to know this is God’s story that He has been playing out since the beginning of time. That said, there are still so many vital truths to understand about how God sees us. It’s His story, but we get to be a part of it when we choose Him.

I want my kids to know this!

Free Bible Verse Printables for Kids

With this in mind, I started writing out these scriptures and taping these truths to my children’s door. As I did this, I realized I wanted to share the idea with you. As life is busy, my heart was to make it easy for you too. Therefore, I created these 50+ free Bible verse printables for kids that parents could easily print out and have available.

These 50+ powerful scriptures to speak over children can be hung on their bedroom doors, in their rooms, memorized together, or put on the refrigerator.

The reason I chose to hang the verses on their door is because it reminded me of the Jewish tradition of the Mezuzah, which means doorpost. In Deuteronomy, it says the following:

The Jewish people would put this scripture along with Deuteronomy 11:13-21 on a scroll and roll it into a small case set on the doorpost. Read more about the Mezuzah here.

While this is a Jewish tradition, it has absolute validity in Christianity. The Old Testament scriptures are the roots of our faith. As we read and study the Bible as a whole, we can see the stories pointing to Jesus the whole time. If you want to see this in a beautiful way, I encourage you to read the Jesus Storybook Bible to yourself and your children. (Amazon Affiliate Link)

While exploring these powerful scriptures, I wanted them on my kids’ doorposts as a reminder every time they walk past that threshold.
