๐Ÿ“… Day 24: Students with Special Needs + Mental Health Support

Scriptures:

“Each of us has one body with many parts… and the parts do not all have the same use.”
Romans 12:4 (CEV)

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Psalm 147:3


Prayer:
Lord, we lift up every student with special needs—those navigating physical, emotional, intellectual, or developmental challenges. You formed them with intention and delight. Let their classrooms become places of inclusion, not isolation; patience, not pity; opportunity, not obstacle.

Surround them with teachers who care, aides who understand, and classmates who respect. Equip every educator with the training, compassion, and insight to meet unique needs with grace and skill. Let every child feel seen, safe, supported, and celebrated.

We also pray for mental health in schools. Lord, calm anxious minds, lift heavy spirits, and bring peace where there is panic. Give courage to students who are struggling silently. Make schools safe places to ask for help and find it. Let counselors, mentors, and trusted adults be empowered to intervene with wisdom and love.

Create classrooms where no child is left behind emotionally or educationally—and where every student feels like they belong.

Amen.


Go a Step Further:
Learn one thing today about a disability, neurodivergence, or mental health condition that affects students. Use that knowledge to pray more intentionally—or to offer encouragement or support to someone walking through it.
