One of the most powerful things that we can give to our children as they return to school this fall is our faith. We read in Proverbs 1:7 (KJV) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
It’s an exciting time for students, parents, educators, and stakeholders in this nation to plant seeds of wisdom and provide instruction that will take our youth to unprecedented heights.
As parents and guardians, let’s begin our days by humbling ourselves before God. Let’s seek his face for wisdom and instruction to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Pray these 14 BACK TO SCHOOL declarations over the lives of your children daily at any time during the day whether you're at home, on your commute to work, at lunch, on your commute home, or during the evening hours. God is always listening for our prayers and requests. And, God loves our children because they have answers for their generation, in Jesus's name, amen.
