People love their pets! It should come as no surprise that the Bible says a righteous man regards the life of his animal (Proverbs 12:10). God loves your pets too, and if we are going to cover every aspect of our lives in prayer, our pets are going to be beneficiaries. This is an example of how one can effectively pray over their pets. You can tailor it to your pet, but whether you read this verbatim or personalize the prayer, your beloved pet will appreciate it! Just put your pet’s name in the blanks, and allow the power of God to flow.
