Many times, we start out strong praying for our kids as they go back to school but as the year drags on and there is so much going on, we lose that momentum. Here are 10 resources to keep us praying over our kid’s school year!!
Why Praying Over Kid’s School Year is Important
As children go to school, they will encounter many different relationships with school leaders, teachers, and their peers. They will also face challenges with school work and various sports or activities.
On top of this, they are exposed to talk, situations, and maybe even new ideas that counter the beliefs they have been taught at home. It is our job as parents to teach them the truth of God’s word at home. But, more importantly, we can place them in the care of God and use the power of prayer.
Even if your kids are homeschool, like mine, these prayers are helpful and keep us praying over our kids as they grow, learn, and interact with us, as the teachers, and their siblings.
