Prayer for Students

 

Father, in Jesus name, I confess Your Word this day concerning education and training at school. As students, we seek the Lord. We meditate in The Word, and ask for Your favor to allow us, through the Holy Spirit, to discern and bless us with knowledge and skill in ALL learning and wisdom, better than anyone else.(Dan 1:17,20)

You are effectually at work in us, creating within us the power and desire to please You. We are the head, and not the tail, above and not beneath. We pray that we find favor, understanding, and high esteem, in the sight of our God, teachers, and classmates.(Gen 39:4)

We ask You give us wisdom, understanding, and knowledge in ALL fields of study we attempt to complete.(Jms 1:5) The memory of the just is blessed.(Prov 10:7) Through faith, we reflect the highest scores in the education system, to glorify Your name. Let the well-educated enquire of us on how we have such wisdom and understanding, never attaining their teachings.(Jn 7:15) We display the blessings of the Lord with our testimony for Your glory, praise, and honor.(Rev 12:11)

Father, thank You for giving us an appreciation for education, and helping us to understand that the source, and beginning of all knowledge comes from You.(Acts 4:13) Dispel negative thinking that comes around us as believers. Drive away gloom and doom from our presence. We have the appetite of the diligent, and we are abundantly supplied with educational resources.

Renew our mind, and emphasize our faith in God. Truth will always replace facts by faith. You have made plans for us that are good, and not for evil, to give us a future, and hope. We shall find the Lord when we seek Him. We shall look for Him earnestly. (Jer 29:11-13). Our thoughts are those of the steadily diligent, which only tend achievements. Thank You that we are growing in wisdom and knowledge. We ask that You fill us with the knowledge of Your will, bearing fruit in ALL our good works.

Father, we thank You for divine protection, since we dwell in the secret place of the Most High. We trust and find our refuge in You, and stand rooted and grounded in Your love.

We shall not be led astray by philosophies of men, and teaching that is contrary to truth. Lord God, You will contend with him who contends with your believers, and You will give safety to your children and put them at ease.(Isa 49:25) Thank you for supplying us the safety we need at school, for our learning abilities to advance the Kingdom of God toward the future, throughout the whole school system.

You are our shield and buckler, protecting us from attacks or threats. You have assigned angels to accompany, defend, surround, and preserve us in all our ways of obedience and service. Thank You for Your angels having charge over us.(Ps 91:11) We are rooted and established in Your love, which drives out fear. For if God is for us, who can be against us.(Rm 8:31)

We pray for the teachers, to be godly men and women of integrity. Give our teachers understanding hearts. Let grace, favor, and wisdom rest on us from the blessing, promoting us, in order that we may walk in the ways of Your devotion and righteousness, revering Your holy name always. For we know God is able.(Gen 18:14,Eph 3:20) For with God, ALL things are possible to the believer.(Job 42:2,Mt 19:26,Mk 9:23,Lk 1:37,Phil 4:13) Amen.
