🙏🏾 A PRAYER FOR OUR CHILDREN RETURNING TO SCHOOL 🙏🏾

Heavenly Father,

As our children prepare to return to school, we place every child in Your hands. Cover them with Your protection as they walk through those school doors. Give them wisdom, confidence, courage, and a heart ready to learn.

Protect them from danger, bullying, negative influences, and anything that would distract them from their purpose. Surround them with good friends, caring teachers, and positive influences. Give our children the strength to stand up for what is right and the courage to walk away from what is wrong.

Lord, watch over them when they are in the classroom, on the playground, riding the bus, participating in sports, and traveling to and from school. Give parents peace of mind knowing that their children are covered by Your grace.

Bless our teachers, administrators, coaches, and every person who helps guide our children. Give them patience, wisdom, and compassion.

Most importantly, remind our children that they are loved, valued, and created for a purpose. Let this school year be filled with growth, success, friendships, confidence, and countless blessings.

“For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” — Psalm 91:11

Lord, we declare that our children are covered, protected, guided, and blessed. May they walk into this school year with confidence and walk out stronger, wiser, and closer to You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏾❤️📚

Praying over every child going back to school this year. May God cover them from the first day to the last. 🙏🏾✨

To our athletes: thank you for trusting the process, embracing the work, and competing with heart. Your results are impressive, but your growth, character, and determination mean even more.

To our parents, coaches, families, and supporters: thank you for every early morning, late night, road trip, practice, and word of encouragement. This journey wouldn’t be possible without you.
