Morning prayers are important as they give the school a chance to invite God in their daily activities and request His protection and guidance (Psalms 16:1). One of the morning prayers includes:

Thank you for this day and the chance to be at school this morning.
We pray that you keep up safe throughout the day, as we learn, play, and interact with others.
Please watch over the students, teachers, and other staff and help us to face today with courage as well as fully concentrate in class.
Give out teachers the strength to share all the knowledge they have acquired and be patient with us.

Amen.”

Prayer for Students in School

Sometimes parents or guardians are requested to pray for students. Here is one of the prayers to lift the students to our loving Heavenly Father.

“O Lord,

We bring all the students in this school before You.

We know that You take care of our children at all times.
In these uncertain times, we sometimes become anxious when the children are at school.

However, we want to hold onto Your word that tells us that instead of being anxious about anything, to pray and make our requests known to You. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Therefore, we bring the students before You. Take away any distractions and give them clear minds so they easily understand what they are taught by their teachers.

Continue protecting them and shielding them from any dangers they may face in school or when they leave school.

In Jesus’ mighty name we Pray and believe,

Amen.”

“Our God,
I thank you for the school management in my child’s life.
I pray that you give them a discerning heart to govern the school and to distinguish between right and wrong just like you did for King Solomon in 1 Kings 3:9.
Whatever challenges they are facing, may the administration make the best decisions for the teachers and students.
May they use the expertise and leadership skills they have acquired to improve the school when it comes to learning, behavior, and even school team spirit.
We pray and believe,
Amen.”
