Thank you, Lord for Your perfect protection over our children. Thank You for Your Word that says that You will command Your angels to guard our family in all our ways. Keep my child safe. Protect them from any physical harm while they are in school. Father, may my child stand strong against anyone who seeks to harm them in any way, emotionally or physically. Give my child Your perfect strength. I thank You for Your Word that says no weapon formed against them will prosper. Guard their hearts and minds as they make new friends and new relationships.

Back to School Prayers 2020 - Work
That my child would work hard
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Colossians 3:23-24 NLT
Lord, Thank you for my child's heart, soul, and mind. Allow my child to live life with passion and that they would be able to work hard and listen well to their instruction. When they get weary, help me to encourage them and lift them up, but also know when to help them to push through. I pray above all else this year that they would begin to understand that the work they do is to praise You and tell others about you through their testimony.
In Jesus’ name, Amen!

That my child would be passionate
As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God.
Psalm 42:1
Lord, I pray that my child will develop a passion for the things of God. I pray they will seek after You with their whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. I pray that they would seek to know You and Your Word. Let them see Your love for them. May they spread that love to everyone they interact with. Pursue my child and allow them to feel Your rich and everlasting love. Let them live with passion that comes from a full and rich life. May my child pursue their studies with a knowledge to know You more and to honor You with their life.
In Jesus' Name, Amen!
