Day 11:
Elementary Schools
Scripture:
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do
not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14
Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for elementary schools. Thank You that they are places where young
children can begin their learning. Let
these places be safe for all the students, teachers, and people who may enter
it. Fill them with excellent people who
will care for all who enter. Be a fence
around the schools and keep them safe from any harm or danger that may come.
Thank You for elementary aged students. They are sweet, young, and still
innocent. We pray that You will protect
them as they go to, from, and through school.
Help them learn to behave themselves in an orderly manner. Help them learn the foundational tools and
skills they will need to go on to become better students. Give them excellent teachers who will
encourage, inspire, love, correct, and discipline them as they grow into lifelong
learners. For any that may have a
negative view of school and education, we pray that You place excellent
teachers, students, staff members, administrators, and others in their life to
show them that school is not negative.
And when they have obstacles, negative days, and bad moments, send
someone to them to remind them of the triumphs, positive days, and amazing
moments. Bless them to have an excellent
school year full of fun, learning, and growth.
We pray that their hearts are open to be an excellent student this
year. Thank You. Amen.
