A Back To School Prayer Night.
Taking the time to pray over specifics before the school year starts
Puts my heart in the right place,
At the feet of Jesus.
For those of you who could not join us
I am attaching the outline that we prayed through.
Feel free to grab it and seek our King
In your own time and space.
Psalm 116:1-2
Matthew 7:7-8
Thanksgiving: for our families, marriages, children, children’s
school environment, for God’s care and provision, His direction and strength.
Our Personal Walks with Jesus: that we would always remember from whom our strength
comes from and constantly be connected to the One who leads, guides and
sustains. That we would carve time out with Him and be in constant
communication with Him.
Our Marriages: That the Lord would be in the center (leading,
guiding, strengthening, and unifying). Protection over. That we would meet each
other’s needs with genuine care and concern. Thankfulness for the other’s roll.
Enjoyment in.
Our Children: That our children would love God passionately, and
love and care for others. That they would desire to glorify God by having good
character, and be self-motivated to study and be diligent workers. That they
would understand the material being taught to them.
Teachers: Wisdom to teach students according to the students’
needs and to deal with daily situations that arise. Patience. Creativity.
Passion. Joy!!
Daily Logistics: Wisdom on how to manage well the homes the Lord has
given us (laundry, cooking, cleaning, appointments). Balance with joy.
Extra Curricular Activities and
Friends: When to say yes to
activities and when to say no (both for us and our children). That our children
would link up with friends that would be encouraging and positive influences
for them.
Preschoolers/Toddlers/Babies: Wisdom on how to give them our time, energy, and
love. Patience with them and patience from them. Creativity for keeping them
happy and busy.
Families That Couldn’t Make It: Blessing on their families. All that we desire for
our families, that the Lord would do so for them as well.
