Though inevitably there’s so much excitement as everyone heads back to school, teachers and administrators I know are already strapping in for another hard year.
We want, need, to pray for these key influencers in my kids’ lives. I’ve seen teachers and admin–and the prayers for them–make a tangible difference.
But they’re not the only ones navigating tough waters. How can we pray for our kids?
(Aside from what’s below, check out this printable–a prayer from Scripture for each day of the month–and this word cloud, which can give you a lot of ideas when you don’t know how to pray).
I’m hoping these back to school prayers are a great way to kick off loving on the teachers, administrators, and kids in our lives and cheering them on throughout the year. Please feel free to share or use in your small group or church if you find this useful.
