Praying God’s Will
Father, it is Your will that our children and youth are taught of You so that their peace will be great and their composure undisturbed. We confess that our children and youth will bind mercy and truth around their necks and write them on the tablets of their hearts. We confess our children and youth will have favor and high esteem before You and people. We confess that our children and youth will grow into the full knowledge of Jesus Christ and confess with their mouths that He is their Lord and Savior. Additional Scriptures for praying God’s Will: Esther 2:15-17; Proverbs 8:32-36
Praying the Request
Father, we ask You to touch the hearts of our children and youth and help them to hear Your voice. Keep them from following the voices of strangers. Draw them closer to You. Father, establish the mind of Christ in them. Help our children and youth to honor and obey their parents so that life may go well with them. Lord, please protect, lead, and instruct them. Teach them how to walk according to the Holy Spirit and not the flesh.
Praying for Forgiveness
Father, forgive our children and youth for disrespecting their parents, teachers, elders, and anyone of authority. Forgive them for not obeying the instructions of their parents. Forgive them for not representing the kingdom of God at school. Lord, remind our children, youth, and parents to forgive others and help them to be quick to forgive.
Praying for Protection
Lead them not into temptation, but deliver them from the evil one.
Praise and Worship
Lord, Your Name alone is exalted. Your glory is above the earth and the heaven. We praise You for Your mighty acts and according to Your excellent greatness. You are Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Yours is the kingdom, power, and glory forever. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
