Prayer for OUR children

As 14 of my grandchildren head back to school...I lift up this prayer for them and all of our children.
~Dr. Pam


Dear God:

We thank you for the magnificence of your grace. It was only grace that woke us up this morning anticipating blessings that you will send our way. Lord, on this day we pause to offer up our children for your care and keeping as they are beginning a brand new school year. As they enter their buildings and disperse to their various classrooms, Master put a hedge of safety around them and protect them from all hurt, harm and danger. Establish our schools as places of joy and laughter where children will feel comfortable and safe. For those parents homeschooling their children we send up prayers, peace, patience and positive spirits.

God send down your powers to rebuke bullying, ungodly behavior, profane language, cheating, stealing and lying. Station in the classrooms anointed teachers who know the Lord and have committed their teaching careers to respecting and valuing the awesome gifts found in the children they teach. God touch the hearts of school administrators to empower and support the teachers. Let parents and school officials work in partnership to create environments where a love for learning is born and nurtured.

God we thank you in advance for the miracles that  will appear as we lift up all our children.

 Amen.
