Prayer For Safety For Schools
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for holiday times when we have freedom to spend quality time with family and friends and to take a break from the daily routine of school and curriculum based work. Thank You for the fun times we have all enjoyed, and now that we are about to start a new term at school, we pray that You would continue to be with us, to help and encourage in all we say and do.
Help us to settle back into the daily routine of school work and give us a heart that desires to learn, a brain that is able to retain what is needful and the ability to dismiss that which is not edifying or necessary for health or wholeness.
Fill our hearts and minds with Your truth and light, and hold us steady in the palm of Your hand as You have promised. Keep us from every sort of danger throughout each day, and may we seek to love You more and serve You better with every passing day. In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father,
As our children leave home for school today, cause them to arrive safely.
Assign your warring angels to guard and keep them wherever they are, whoever they are with, and whatever they are doing throughout the day.
Remove any fear from their hearts and replace it with a sense of peace, comfort and Your loving presence.
Help them to maximize and enjoy their educational experience; let not the enemy mar it in any way.
Father by Your grace we refuse to be bound by the spirit of fear, but instead trust You to keep our children safe in Your divine care.
By faith we cover them in the protective blood of Jesus from the crown of their heads to the soles of their feet and stand on Your word that no weapon formed against them shall prosper.
Father we humbly release our children to You.
Watch over them like only You can.
Thank you for bringing them safely home.
In Jesus' Name, Amen
Father, Praise You for the opportunity to be mothers and fathers. You craft each life with importance. Every one equally loved by You, our faithful and loving Father. We know that You have a purpose for each life You draft, and praise You that we get to be a part of that purpose.
Thank You for every day they hop into the car or off the school bus safely returned to us. The joys of parenthood are as abundant as the worries. We worry about our kids, God. School should be a safe place for them to learn, grow, and foster the friendships You designed us to crave. But the world is broken, and school isn't safe. There are lock-down drills that send teachers to dark corners to huddle with their students. Bless the teachers that fight back their own fear to risk their lives for our children.
Schools have been attacked. Gunshots have filled hallways and forever changed the way we feel when we say goodbye to our kids each morning. Be with us as we struggle to maintain composure on the days the depth of reality is too much for us to swallow.
God, there is a reason You tell us to have faith like that of a child. They are bursting with curiosity and full of love. Protect their innocence and preserve the spark in their eyes from the darkness of the world. Let them be little lights to their parents and teachers. Allow them to grow and have a fair opportunity to learn.
Father, we confess our worry and our fear to You today. You tell us not to worry, but it is so hard not to cry when we think of what other parents have had to suffer on account of the tragedy we prepare to face everyday. Comfort their hearts in a special way.
Bless our children and keep them safe from physical harm. Protect them from abuse, abduction, child trafficking, and addiction. Guard their hearts from the devil's schemes, and protect their minds from things that are not appropriate for their eyes to see and their ears to hear. Bless them with hearts of compassion for their fellow students and teachers. May they be kind on the playground and quiet in the hallways. Protect our children from gossip and bullying. May they know and hear Your voice louder than all the others.
Godly friends are important, and we pray today that You bless our children with those friends. May their friendships be innocent and light, and may the be filled with kindness, understanding, and compassionate consideration for one another.
God, it's hard to let go of our kids, and send them out into a world that is so unstable and so volatile. But You are bigger than all of our worries. You are bigger than our worst fears. Send Your Holy Spirit to quicken in our hearts as we seek You in Your Word and pray to You for comfort. Remind us that our children are Your children, and that You love them infinitely more than we do. You love us, and them, so much that You sent Your Son Jesus to die on a cross. In the most cruel way to die, the Savior of the World hung there for us. For all of us. My we always cling to the cross for our hope, and light the path for our children to, as well. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Dear Lord, thank You for our children. We pray for every child and their safety for this school year. Grant every child listening ears because Your Word says that whoever listens to You will live in safety and be at ease without fear or harm. So, Father I declare Your divine covering from this day forward over every child, school and teacher, Amen.
Heavenly Father, in Ezra 8:31-32, Your hand was upon the children of Israel as they had set out from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem. You gave them protection from their enemies and bandits and when they arrived in Jerusalem, they rested three days. In the same way, we pray that Your hand will be upon every child as they set out for school each day throughout the year. Give them protection from their enemies and when they arrive to school, grant them rest in Jesus Name, Amen.
Lord, You said that we must not be afraid or discouraged, for You will personally go head of us. You will be with us and You shall neither fail or abandon us. Even though at times school systems may fail us, we thank the Lord for never failing Your children and for going ahead of every child in this school year. We will not be abandoned, written off, or criticized because You have created Your children in Your own image, Thank You Father, Amen.
Dear Lord, we trust in You to keep our children safe throughout this school year. We pray that they will enjoy and excel in their education. We declare Your divine covering over every child, from the crown of their heads to the soles of their feet. In this school year, we release them to You and ask that You watch over them in Jesus Name, Amen.
Dear Father, we pray for the safety of our children at school. We declare a safe school environment. We pray for the physical protection of every child throughout this school year. We say no' to child abuse, child trafficking, bullying in Jesus Name. Let every child fulfil their God given purpose and that safety and protection will be the heart-beat of every educational institution in Jesus Name we pray, Amen
