August 13: Back to School Prayer
August is here, and that means school is starting up again. It doesn’t matter if your student is a first-time, returning, elementary, high school, or college student…online or in class…public or Christian or home school…in town or far away…your child or grandchild, nephew or niece, neighbor, or friend…your student needs your prayers.
- Pray for protection to and from school for each student.
- Pray for protection at school, that it would be a safe place with no bullying or terror attacks.
- Pray for good health to prevail in every family throughout the school year.
- Pray for teachers to show kindness, grace, and understanding, as well as wisdom in dealing with situations in the classroom.
- Pray that God will provide for every financial need.
- Pray for parents to offer strong guidance and support, offering encouragement and expecting fair accountability.
- Pray that students will understand and do well in the learning process.
- Pray for peace in each student so they would not fear situations or people present.
- Pray for confidence that each would try new things and bravely tackle all assignments given.
- Pray for students to make wise choices in their friendships, speech, manners, and reactions.
- Pray that students would do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.
- Pray that each student would stand with boldness and integrity on the Word of God, especially when presented with beliefs and teachings contrary to truth.
