Pray for our children and their teachers
The new school year has begun. We ask you to please pray for the caregivers, students and teachers. Put a hedge of protection around all our children. Pray for your children returning to schools or colleges and the specific institutions they attend, as well as children in your church. Where possible, lay hands on your children and bless them. Pray for wisdom, favor and good success. Ask for God’s angelic protection to surround your children and their schools; bind back any satanic plans of violence and terror.
Pray for our educational system, from kindergarten to university, to experience transformation and revival. Pray specifically, by name, your children’s teachers, principals and administrators. Pray also for all those being home-schooled, that the Lord would give wisdom and strength to families as they teach their children. Lift up Christian schools and universities who are standing for biblical values in education. Pray for various Christian campus ministries that strengthen our children in high school and college.
We also want to thank all who helped us provide needed school items to more than 280 youths this season. May this school year be an outstanding one. God bless.
