Prayer For School Work
Father, finding the right friends in high school is very difficult. It is easy to succumb to peer pressure. But Lord, you are my shepherd, I choose to listen to your voice and follow your ways. Connect me to the right friends and separate me from people who do not honor your name. Fill my friends and me with your love and help us to understand each other. Help us to forgive each other when we make mistakes and may we always build each other up. In Jesus' name, we believe and pray, Amen.
Heavenly Father, I bring our teachers and administrators before your throne of grace this day. Lord, give them wisdom so that they may be able to lead my school in the right direction. Let those who don't know you come to know that you're the only true God who was and is. May they always look up to you in everything that they do. You know the challenges that they're going through at home and even here at school. Help them, Lord, and grant them peace and joy everlasting. In Jesus' name, we believe and pray, Amen.
Lord, we put our children who are joining high school into your hands. There is so much we can do as parents, but ultimately you are the one who knows their end from the beginning. May our children not set their eyes and mind on things that don't glorify your name while at school. Let no harm befall them, dear Lord. Be their source of encouragement, especially when things at school become difficult. Grant them grace to excel in everything they do, and may they never be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ when they are interacting with their peers. Lord, connect them to good friends that will impact their faith positively for the glory of your name. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Lord Jesus, I dedicate my studies to you. Give me the knowledge and skills in all subjects that I take. Help me to be at the top and not at the bottom, to be the head and not the tail in every subject. Grant me the grace to understand everything that is taught in class. Help me to be hardworking and not lazy in class and even in extracurricular activities. Lord, thank you for the gifts and talents that you've given me. May I use them to bear fruit in my academics and my spiritual life. Lord, help me to depend on your promises, for they are Yes and Amen. Reveal your love and plans to me in everything that I learn. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Lord God, you tell us in your word to love others as we love ourselves. Help me to show love to every student I interact with when I'm at school. Help me to respect everyone and devote myself to showing others Christ-like love. Forgive my shortcomings and help me to overflow with your love. May I never seek revenge when my fellow students offend me. Instead, let me be quick to forgive them so that they can see the glory of Jesus Christ in me. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
Lord, at times, life is rough at school, but with you I know I will excel in my studies. Help me to be patient with my teachers, fellow students, and myself, Lord. Help me not to grow weary in my studies because I will reap the harvest of excellent grades in due time. Give me endurance in all that I do at school and at home. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
Lord of Unfailing Love, thank you for showing me unfailing love and kindness. I praise you for enabling me to be a student in this great school. Father, I thank you for our teachers, the administration, the parents and my fellow students. Thank you for protecting me from the terror by night, the arrow that flies by day, the pestilence that stalks in darkness and the plague that destroys at midday. Be with me in everything that I do at school and back at home. It is in Jesus' name that I believe and pray, Amen.
Almighty and Everlasting God, you are my rock and fortress. I call upon you to be my shield. As I go back to school, Lord, keep my lamp burning in my studies and relationships. Arm me with strength so that I may be able to handle the different challenges that we face at school. Give me the courage to face each day with grace and love. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
