BACK TO SCHOOL PRAYER

"Father in Jesus" Name, we confess your Word this day concerning our children as they prepare to return to school and pursue their education and training. You are effectually at work in them, creating within them the power and desire to please you. Teach them oh God; they are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath.

We pray that our children will find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight of God and their teachers and classmates. We ask you to give our children wisdom and understanding as knowledge is presented to them in all fields of study and endeavor.

Father, thank you for giving our children an appreciation for education and helping them to understand that the Source and beginning of all knowledge is you. They have the appetite of the diligent, and they are abundantly supplied with educational resources; their thoughts are those of the steadily diligent, which tend only to achievement. Thank You that they are growing in wisdom and knowledge. We will not cease to pray for them asking that they will be filled with knowledge of your will, bearing fruit in every good work.

Father God we thank you that our children have diving protection since they dwell in the secret place of the Most High God. We pray that they shall not be led astray by philosophies of men and teaching that is contrary to truth. You are their shield and buckler, protecting them from attacks and threats.Thank you for the angels whom you have assigned to them to accompany, defend and preserve them in all their ways of obedience and service.

We pray that the teachers of our children will be godly men and women of integrity. Give our teachers understaning hearts, patience, and wisdom in order that theymay walk in the ways of piety and virtue. We also pray for the Principals, Bus Drivers, the School Board and every personnel that comprise our county and state educational system in your Holy name, Amen."
