Section 6: For Our School Systems
Join with us today and pray our prepared prayer on pages 58 and 59 for teachers from the FORTY DAYS OF PRAYER FOR EDUCATION free eBook and enjoy the accompanying song entitled, Anoint Me Lord, by Vicki Yohe.
This prayer was submitted and read
aloud at an Educators Prayer Breakfast held September 27, 2014 by one of our
prayer leaders, Ms. Linda Nicholson.
Almighty
God, I set myself in agreement with the Word of God and with what You once
established in American education. I release my hope and faith in Your Word. I
patiently expect Your glory to manifest in schools all across our nation.

I
come before You on behalf of the students, educators and administrators of the
entire educational system in America. Lord Jesus, I ask You to restore honor,
integrity, virtue and peace in American classrooms. I confess Isaiah 53:13,
“All thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of
thy children.” Every time I hear a report of violence and terror in our schools,
I will say out loud, “Our children are taught of the Lord and great is peace
and the anointing of them!”
And
Jesus, You and I know the educators and the administrators cannot teach and run
our schools without You and Your anointing. So, I intercede and give thanks for
those You have ordained and placed in positions of authority and responsibility
in our schools across America. I believe for Your anointing to be in them and
upon them.
I
am not waiting until I see the Spirit of God moving in this situation. I am
starting my confession now! Combine my faith with those who are also praying
and believing for the wisdom, honor, strength, wealth power and glory of God to
be demonstrated in our school systems.
I
am releasing my faith for the next generation!
Lord
Jesus, I thank You for the redemptive work You are doing in our schools and in
the people who run them. The students and teachers are on your heart and they
are on mine too. Our schools will be a joy, a praise, and a glory before all
nations of the earth! Nations will fear God and tremble because of all the
goodness, peace, prosperity, security and stability You have provided to us.
In
Jesus’ name,
Amen.
