Back to School Prayer
Author: Lyn
St. John
Advertisements full of school supplies, tax-free weekends, the cries of many children wanting more vacation. It must be time for school to start. Most children are heading back to school in the next few weeks. It can be an exciting time for some but for other kids it can be a scary and stressful time. I pray that your children are the ones that are excited, however I have learned from kids at my local church that school is no longer as safe as it used to be. There has been an increase in violence and substance abuse. The schools no longer teach with a moral compass but instead with political correctness. We must cover our children with prayer. We need to pray for protection not just physically but mentally and spiritually as well. There are few practical ways that you can cover the kids going back to school with prayer in your prayer group. Give each child a prayer cloth that they can put in the book bag. Go on a prayer walk at their school(s). If the school(s) is too far away do a virtual prayer walk. Have the kids write down prayer requests for the school year and exchange them with a friend.
As we cover the kids with prayer we need to encourage them to pray for their schools, friends, and their selves.
