Thank You Lord that as we sing Your praises You are spreading Your divine protection over our children. Watch over their coming and going. You said You will rescue us from every trap and protect us from deadly disease (psalm 91 verse 3). We declare that over our house, over our children. No evil will touch us.

May they find times of rest and if they do not know You, make Yourself known to them this school year, in Jesus name, Amen

Jesus thank You for friends! Thank You that You created us to be in relationship with You and each other. We pray our children would build kind friendships this school year.

We claim your promises today Lord, that common sense and success belong to our children. Throughout their days give them insight beyond their years. In any situation they face, may they use sound judgment. We thank You that You have given us a sound mind!

*Prayer 9: Accepting Correction*
Scripture: Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life. *Proverbs 19:20*

Dear Jesus, give our children ears to accept instruction. Give them the desire to learn from the wise and to accept correction. Soften their hearts so they can gain knowledge from their teachers (and parents) and respect the teacher throughout the day.
