Back To School
More than ever, schools need our prayers. We are in a fierce battle for the next generation. The enemy is targeting children younger and younger. The biggest spiritual battles are being fought in our preschool and elementary schools, not to mention our high schools, colleges, and universities. It is so important to pray for our schools, teachers and administrators, bus drivers, crossing guards, parents, and caregivers.
The enemy is waging an all-out war to indoctrinate children with a secular worldview that is in direct conflict with a Biblical worldview. One of the most important things we can do as Christians is to pray. No spiritual battles are won without prayer. Prayer makes the difference. Nothing of eternal value happens without it. So, let’s give ourselves to fasting and prayer as people head back to school this fall…it will make an eternal difference!

Prayer Declaration
Father, we thank you for the start of another school year. Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so will you surround our educators, students, and all those who work in the educational system. Jehovah, send your angels to guard and protect our schools, and to bring our students into their destinies in Jesus’ name. Father, we pray that this year will be an unusual year because your presence will be strong in every school district and board. You will lift up your right hand to protect our students, teachers, coaches, and workers from all forms of evil.
Jehovah Nissi, expose and uproot the schemes of the devil in and around our education system. In Jesus’ name we decree and declare that any evil agenda will be crushed in this school year. Father, when the devil comes in like a flood, your standard and banner will be raised against them. Release a greater measure of grace (great grace) upon the believers who are students, teachers, and workers. Lead them into triumph and bring them victories, this school year. “Now may the grace and joyous favour of the Lord Jesus Christ, the unambiguous love of God and the precious communion of the Holy Spirit be theirs continually.” So shall it be.
