A Prayer for a Child Who Is Being Bullied

When a child is being bullied, they need more than “ignore it.” They need someone to listen carefully, believe what is true, and help make the situation safer.

Scripture to begin with

Romans 8:15-17 reminds us that those who belong to Christ are welcomed into God’s family. Cruel words do not get to name a child or decide their worth.

A prayer for the child

Jesus, you see this child and every part of what is happening. Remind them whose they are. Guard their heart from believing cruel words. Give them courage to tell the truth, wise adults who will listen, and friends who practice kindness. Show us how to protect them without teaching hatred in return. Help them grow secure in your love and brave enough to ask for help. Amen.

One faithful next step

Listen without rushing to fix or minimize. Write down what happened, when it happened, and who was present. Bring the facts to the adults responsible for the child’s safety, and keep following up.

A child needs to know that cruelty does not get the final word about who they are.
