๐Ÿ“… Day 8: Middle Schools

Scripture:
“Make me to know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.”
Psalm 25:4


Prayer:
Lord, we lift up middle schools to You today—those halls filled with students who are not quite children but not yet grown. This is such a tender, confusing, and vital season. You see every middle schooler navigating friendships, hormones, identity, and pressure. Be near to them. Guard their hearts. Remind them that they are loved, seen, and designed on purpose.

We pray for wisdom to rest upon every teacher, administrator, counselor, and coach who works with this age group. Give them grace to guide with structure and compassion, firmness and flexibility. Let their words build up rather than tear down. Strengthen them to handle the challenges of this stage with understanding and resolve.

Father, we ask that You protect middle school campuses from bullying, shame, peer pressure, and hopelessness. Let these schools become places where students grow emotionally and spiritually as well as academically. Light their path—and teach them to follow Yours.

Amen.


Go a Step Further:
If you know a middle school student, speak a word of life over them today. Whether you say it aloud or in prayer, declare their identity in Christ and their future with hope. Let them hear—or feel—that they are not lost in the shuffle. They are rising into who they were created to be.
