Morning Prayer for School
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.
Protect us from any incidents or accidents as we run and play outside too. Please come and be part of everything we do today.
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.
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.”
Prayer for School Management
As a parent you may feel like the school management at your child’s school is going off course. Though you may feel like speaking out, it is wise to pray for the school management as you seek God’s guidance on the way forward.
Here is a great prayer for your child’s school management
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.”
Prayer for School Program
School programs are important and it is essential to place them in the hands of God.
Here is a great prayer for a school program
We come before you in humble prayer thanking you for each person present for the school program. We request you God to be in our midst as we share ideas, visions, and plans.
We commit the program to you just like the word says in Proverbs 16:3 that we should “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
Bestow Your grace and divine wisdom on us as we embark on this school program, so it can become successful.
Bless each and every member participating in the program and keep our minds at peace and help us not to stray off course.
In Jesus’ Name, we pray and believe.
Amen.”
