One Helpful Way to Pray for Your Student

August 29, 2017 by Kristi 3 Comments

 

Our students head to school soon – if not already. There, they stand on a battle ground.

Another young man stood on battle ground as well: Daniel.

Our young man prayed – putting many of us to shame, if truth be told.

And what happened during those days of fervent, heart-felt prayer?

Nothing!

Daniel prayed for 21 days, and nothing happened.

But then came breakthrough.

 

Then he said to me, Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard: and I have come for your words’ sake. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days:

Daniel 10:12-14 WEB

 

I itch to see breakthrough in my own students’ lives. You might have a special student in which you’d cherish breakthrough as well.

Why not support students (our child, niece/nephew, neighbor or others) with prayer? We may not see evidence of answers right away, but remember Daniel’s “21.”

Battle is being waged.

Today we’re praying for the head – their mind and thoughts. After all, isn’t that a breeding ground for actions?

 

 

Father,

Thank You for the magnificient minds You create. They are good! May my son/daughter give thought to his/her ways, walking with prudent actions. May their mind be filled with Your righteousness this school year. 

In Jesus’ name, amen.

    What an important prayer for the minds of our kids! Your encouragement about the 21 days cheers me to no end. Sometimes I pray, but don’t see anything, so it’s good to remember that!

      It is good to remember the battle behind the scenes – talking to myself as well, Betsy. God is so good.

    Oh, boy. I’ve been simple minded for a long time. Thank God for His saving grace.
    This is a beautiful way to help students.

Welcome


Welcome! I’m Kristi.

Feel free to pull up a chair, make yourself feel at home. This is “our” space to be real, to grow in faith, and to walk deeper with God.

(Read more of my faith journey here.)

Be forewarned, however. This is a space for Sunday pewsitters becoming Monday through Sunday worshipers – a place where women walk deeper with God.  xo
