Day 27: Train Up A Child

Section 5: For Our Students

Join with us today and pray our prepared prayer on page 48 from the FORTY DAYS OF PRAYER FOR EDUCATION free eBook or pray independently from our focus scripture, Proverbs 22:6 NKJV  and enjoy the accompanying song entitled, "You Lead" by Jamie Grace. May our children have this song upon their hearts.

As you continue in prayer, lift up the children in your life (ie. personal children, students (current and former), relatives, neighbors, and church family). Ask God to show you how you can specifically pray for their upbringing in the Word of God. 

TRAIN UP A CHILD

Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. 

Proverbs 22: 6 NKJV

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being all wise, and all knowing. Thank You for knowing the thoughts of our hearts and our end from our beginning. No one can fathom the depths of Your wisdom. We acknowledge that Your ways are higher than our ways, Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and You truly are the Master Teacher.

Your word encourages us to train up a child in the way that they should go. You also command us to allow the little children to come to You for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who accept and follow You with the faith of a child.

Today Lord, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we decree a crumbling and destruction of every hindrance, lie, curriculum, or policy that prohibits the children and youth of this land to be trained in Your truth. We halt and erase the plans of humanism and atheism to diminish the worth, existence, power, glory, necessity and complexities of the One and Only, True and Living God. May our schools and universities return to the core of teaching that our country was founded on; the Word of God in daily instruction.

For Your educators, we declare an increase in wisdom, favor, and discernment to teach, talk and train in love. Holy Spirit, pour this out over us on this and every day. For Your glory, victory is ours and the territory of education belongs to You.

In the name of the one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all, Jesus the Christ,

 -Amen
