A Back-To-School Prayer!

Lord many children across this nation will soon be returning to school. We ask you to restore in our schools the truths found in your word. Allow those students that are believers in you to be bold in their witness for you. May they become living Bibles for their classmates since our nation has rejected the teaching of the Bible within the classroom. Amen

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. Ephesians 6:18-20

"By removing the Bible from schools we would be wasting so much time and money in punishing criminals and so little pains to prevent crime. Take the Bible out of our schools and there would be an explosion in crime." --Benjamin Rush, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Physician, writer, educator, humanitarian

A Prayer for Our School Teachers

The excitement of back-to-school is in the air. One-fourth of the U.S. population age three and older will be attending classes (76 million); and over seven million teachers are preparing to start a new school year (U.S.A. Census). 

Today Lord, we hold up those teachers before you. They mold the minds of our young; and we ask that your Spirit intercede in their classroom. We pray that our teachers will seek and find the wisdom that comes from you; and that they will seek You to be both the Lord of their life and the Lord of their classroom. We ask that you protect our teachers and our schools from harm and evil. May you bless our teachers with love, understanding, wisdom and patience. May our teachers not only teach good character but may they also model good character. May this be a rewarding year for our schools and our teachers. Amen

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:5
