Forty Days of Prayer for Education: Day 27

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

Forty Days of Prayer for Education: Day 2

Section 1 -Prepare Your Heart

WE AGREE

 “Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in heaven; a no on earth is no in heaven. What you say to one another is eternal. I mean this. When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I’ll be there.”

Isn't it good to serve such an awesome and loving God?  Over and over in the bible, He shows us evidence of His desire for intimate relationship with mankind, as well as a desire for us to worship Him with others. He created us for relationships and intertwines our lives with countless people like a master weaver to create a beautiful tapestry of life.

Today's prayer focuses on the power of agreement; not just with one another, but the power that comes with being in agreement with Jesus first and foremost.  Our Kingdom assignment as educators links us to many people day after day.  How can we be effective if we don't know His will?  How can we agree if we don't know what we are agreeing about?

Pray with me today "for the finished works of His crucifixion and resurrection to be made manifest in every Kingdom assignment He places before us this school year". Acknowledge His sovereignty and your willingness to be attentive and obedient to His voice. Admit and repent of anything that has hardened your heart to following His ways and receive His forgiveness and guidance.


Join with us and pray our prepared prayer on page 10 of the Forty Days of Prayer for Education or pray independently from our focus scripture, Matthew 18:19-20.  Afterwards, take some time to just listen for Jesus' voice as you ask Him to show you how you can continue praying for unity in your school or school system.


 The Lord is with you and you are loved,

Toni
