We are praying for our children(no matter their age) as they begin the new school (college/university) year.

Below are 2 KCM prayers

*Father, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You for my children and for the blessing of being charged with raising them according to Your Word and for Your glory.

I lift up my children’s education to You, Lord, and as my children go to school, I thank You that You have made them the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath. I thank You now, Lord, that my children have favor at school with their teachers and their classmates; and ask that You will give them a desire to learn and a supernatural ability to grasp concepts taught in each subject.

I come against any learning disabilities right now in the Name of Jesus. I call every attempt against their success null and void right now in Jesus’ Name. No weapon formed against their success in school will prosper. My children are taught of the Lord! And they have the mind of Christ, glory to God.

God, You are the source of all knowledge, and I ask now that my children will have wisdom and understanding in all things. Thank You for giving them an appreciation of the educational opportunities before them. I ask that they have integrity, diligence and a spirit of excellence in all things, that they might bear much fruit. And I pray that they will not be led astray by the philosophies of men, but that their minds will be stayed on You.

Father, I ask that You impart to me the wisdom to know how to encourage them to do their best, support them at home, and become their greatest cheerleader in life. I ask that I have the wisdom to know the right school setting for each of my children, and I will be quick to respond to Your still, small voice regarding my children every day.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Deuteronomy 28:1-13; 1 Kings 4:29; Proverbs 1:4, 7; 3:4; Matthew 18:18; 1 Corinthians 2:16; James 1:5

*Father, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You for the gift of education. I thank You that our children have the privilege and right to develop their minds and grow in knowledge for the good and strength of the Kingdom on this earth and to do so safely.

Lord, we know it is NEVER Your will that bullying, violence or shootings take place in a school or anywhere else. We recognize and acknowledge the work of the enemy and come to You in obedience to Your Word to take authority over the forces of evil that would make any attempt against our children while they are in school.

I thank You that Your Word promises divine protection for my children, and I declare that no evil will come near my children or their schools in the Name of Jesus. I curse any evil plots at the root right now in Jesus’ Name. I declare that no weapon formed against our schools will prosper. Every evil plan that is in the dark will be brought into the light and halted. I bind Satan and his demons in the Name of Jesus and command them to flee from our schools in Jesus’ Name.

I thank You that Your angels surround my children, taking charge over them and protecting them from danger of any kind.

I speak life, truth, safety and protection over every child at this school. I plead the blood of Jesus over my children and their schools—every building they walk into, and every vehicle they ride in. I declare that no evil will come near them.

I thank You, Father, that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of POWER. I rebuke the spirit of fear in Jesus’ Name and loose a spirit of power over this school. I thank You and praise You for Your goodness, Your mercy and Your grace. Thank You that as I have applied the blood of Jesus on the doorposts of this school, nothing shall be able to harm it.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.
