Thoughts for Life: 15 Prayers for Your Child This School Year

Jill and Mark Salvage

Pray for Boldness

Lord, I pray for boldness for my child. I pray that they will demonstrate the confidence and courage that doing what is right will bring ultimate victory regardless of present opposition.

Pray for Boundaries

Lord, this school year, I pray that my child will be able to set boundaries that protect them and others. I pray that they can set limitations that protect them from potentially unmanageable temptation.

Pray for Joy

Lord, I pray joy over my child. I pray that they can choose to be pleasant, joyful, and kind regardless of outside circumstances, ultimately lifting the spirit of others. I also pray that they can find their joy in your truth."

Pray for Commitment

Lord, I pray that my child will devote themselves to following-up on their words with action. I pray that they will stick with hard things, and will lean on you for strength in times of trial."

Quote for today from Psalm 91:1-4

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress,

My God, in whom I tust!"

For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper,

And from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with His pinions,

And under His wings you may seek refuge;

His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark."

Words of wisdom-

"Ephesians 3:20-21 does not just say that God can do more than we ask or imagine, he can do immeasurably more. This means we cannot even estimate how much more our God can do." Emma Danzey

Trusting God with Your Future

Mary Southerland tells us, “In an effort to escape the brutal summer heat of South Florida, our family headed to the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of our favorite spots for hiking, so we planned a day trip that included exploring a few hiking trails, a picnic and a visit to the beautiful and historic colonial home of Carl Sandburg."
