Nieces are a special blessing to their families! They get extra love and attention from their aunts and uncles, and are ready friends with their cousins.
Saying a prayer for my niece is one of the best gifts I can give to her, to lift her up in prayer to our gracious Heavenly Father. Spend some time each day supporting your niece in prayer.

A Prayer for my Niece to Know Christ’s Love
As Christians, we want people to know the love of Jesus Christ. We especially want those close to us to experience a personal relationship with Him. Pray along with this prayer to ask God for this to be done in her life.
Dear God,
I love You so much! I want my niece to know You and love You, too.
I pray that she would know about You at an early age, and that she would experience the joy of salvation through Jesus Christ. I ask that You would help me to share the Good News of Your Gospel with her through words, and also in compassion and kindness.
Please surround her with others who love You and communicate Your love to her.
If she doesn’t know You right now or has walked away from You, I pray that You would soften her heart and draw her to You. May she know how loving, mighty, compassionate, and forgiving You are. I trust Your timing for this answer.
Thank You, Lord, for Your perfect will for her.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

I pray that You would bless my niece with a close walk with You. I pray that she would be open to You and would not push You away. I ask that You would help her see Your truth and not be held captive by the hollow philosophies of this world (Colossians 2:8 NIV).
I pray that she will make good choices. I also pray that You would guide her towards Your will for her, and that she would have a bright future in doing what You have called her to do.
Please bless her in what You have for her today. May she glorify You!

Pray for your niece to grow in this joy as she starts and grows in her personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Father God,
It is my desire to see my beloved niece be a Christian and grow in You. I pray that as she takes these steps of trusting in You more and more each day, that she would experience Your great joy.
May You fill her with the Holy Spirit, that she would exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, including joy (Galatians 5:22-23).

I lift up my niece to You in prayer. I see her struggle with things that draw her away from You. It is breaking my heart and I know it breaks Yours, too.
I pray that You would open her eyes to this sin, and that she would turn away from it in repentance. I pray that she would see the destructiveness of sin, and the joy of following You.
Please show her the right path. May she do good works to glorify You, knowing she is saved by Your divine grace.
May she look to You for strength to break free of sinful habits. Please provide for her to be protected from opportunities to be entangled again in this deceptive sin.
I pray that You would give her people in her life to mentor her, support her, and advise her in living a godly life. Please help me to be a role model to her in living a life that glorifies God. I pray that you would provide for many people like this in her life, including family members and other people who care for her walk with You.
Please help my niece today!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
