NOTE: This prayer has been recorded TWICE, first for listening and agreeing, then again for repeating.
The prayer recorded here is specifically for praying deliverance from nightmares.
However, the template form of the prayer may be used to effect deliverance from any manner of spirit tormenting an infant, toddler, or young child.
Prayer may be done whether the child is asleep or awake (see the quote below from minister Bill Banks).
Please first review the prayer text below, and the listening version of the prayer, so that you may be ready to adapt the language to your particular situation (for example: one parent; female child; etc.).
For a version of this prayer that may be used for other demons and afflictions, please download the prayer titled “DELIVERANCE FOCUS: General Deliverance of Very Young Children”.
**PLEASE REMEMBER THAT, IF THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CHANGE IN THE CHILD FOLLOWING THIS AND/OR ADDITIONAL DELIVERANCE PRAYERS, THEN THERE MAY BE A REPENTANCE ISSUE WITH THE PARENTS, OR THERE MAY BE AN UNBROKEN FAMILY OR BLOODLINE CURSE THAT MUST BE DEALT WITH IN ORDER FOR RELEASE OF THE CHILD TO BE EFFECTUAL. If you find that deliverance for the child is not forthcoming, we recommend that each parent download and pray in sincerity all pertinent prayers of repentance and curse-breaking. In the meantime, continue regularly (at least once or twice daily) to pray this deliverance prayer over your child, whether or not they are present, asleep, or awake.
Minister and author Bill Banks writes:
“The simplest ministry is to the infant or very small child, because the will [of the child] has not yet become fully developed... One of the most simple, yet effective, techniques for ministering to children, regardless of age, is to pray over them while they are sleeping... The demon(s) can hear us even when the child is asleep.”

PRAYER TEXT
Lord Jesus, [ I / We ] come to you,
for [ I / we ] know that you are the Deliverer.
As the parent(s) of [ this child ],
[ I / we ] thank you for [ him / her ],
and acknowledge [ him / her ] to be a blessing from you.
Now, in the power of your name, Lord Jesus Christ,
[ I / we ] bind the spirit of [ nightmares ]
which has been tormenting [ him / her ] with [ fear ],
and [ I / we ] command it to come out of [ him / her ] now.
[ I / We ] loose [ him / her ] now from the hold of the spirit of [ nightmares ],
for it is written
that whatsoever we loose on Earth is loosed in Heaven.
[ I / We ] ask you, by your Spirit,
to replace [ nightmares ]
with [ peaceful, pleasant sleep and sweet dreams ].
Thank you, Lord Jesus,
for your ministry to [ our child ].
Amen.
