Back To School Prayers for Mothers + Free Download

As our children face a new school term, it is important that we remember to cover them in prayer.

I just want us to take some time to pray for our children as they begin a new school term.

PLEASE FIND BELOW A GUIDE YOU CAN USE

[Do you want our Back To School prayer Guide? You can get access to this and other back to school resources here]

It’s another School Term and I love to cover my children in prayers each time they begin another school term.

Why You Should Pray

Don’t take it for granted that your child will do excellently well in school. We have seen brilliant children who don’t do well in school. It may be due to sickness or ill health, distractions by friends, a teacher just does not like your child and will do all to frustrate that child… There are so many things that the enemy of our souls will want to try to prevent our children from being the best that the Lord has ordained them to be.

Today, we will war in the Spirit concerning our seeds and specifically concerning this school term.

Please use this format.

You are free to add and modify as the Spirit of God leads you to.
