Prayer of the Week – Sep 21-27   Prayer for Schools Reopening 2020        Part 3  

Dear God, as our young people grow into adults, we ask that You would guide and protect them. Post-secondary education, whether at university, college, or technical schools, is an amazing time, but it’s also a time when many young people lose their in faith in You. Please protect them. Please guide them to make the right decisions when it comes to peer pressure, partying, and other negative influences. Our youth do not have the years of wisdom that many of their teachers, counsellors, and educators have from living more life on this earth than they. Our prayer today is that our teachers and educators will comfort and spur on our students. May the hope of Jesus Christ be with every teacher, educator, coach, counsellor, principal, staff member, and student. It is through the hope of Jesus, we can be assured somewhere, sometime, somehow, there is light at the end of this dark tunnel we traverse.

You know our needs, Lord. You know the heart of every teacher, coach, education assistant, and staff member. You know the needs and challenges of every student. Be their guide, Lord, and our guide. Show us who needs help, how to help, and sustain and provide for us.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
