Day 17: Elementary and Junior High
Schools Pray today for elementary schools and junior high schools. Children are a blessing from the Lord and something He has fashioned very purposefully. Pray that they will be treasured and seen as gifts. Pray for the very young person in America, that Jesus will encounter and keep their hearts. Pray that the Lord will protect and preserve their innocence. Especially pray that the Lord will protect the destiny that He has for each young one and that it will not be stolen from them. Pray for those children who have little or no contact with godly influences, that they would be divinely connected with people who will intentionally reflect Christ to them. Pray for the young in the foster care system, that the Lord will set them in godly families. Pray for their young minds to be taught the truth of Christ and to be protected from falsehood that would lead them into believing lies about Jesus. As the young of America mature into junior high students, pray that the Lord will protect their identity. Declare over junior high students that they are loved and accepted, and pray that no confusion would cause them to believe otherwise. Pray that junior high students would be concerned with Christ and that the Holy Spirit would release grace to them to pursue the things of God instead of being consumed with material things. Pray that junior high students will be filled with discernment and that they will have real, authentic encounters with Christ that will keep them into their teen years and beyond. Pray for all teachers and administrators who impact the very young and junior high students of America.
Today’s Passage:
Psalm 31:20
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues.
