Dear Heavenly Father,
You are awesome and amazing, and it is the joy of our lives to be Your children. You alone are God! You are holy beyond holiness, magnificent beyond magnificence, and perfect beyond perfection. Everything You do is purposeful and wonderful! Thank You for loving us unconditionally and without fail. Thank You for giving the world Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, as a sacrifice for our sins. And thank You for setting up the family structure and blessing the earth with families as Your way to secure and bless children. You have made it possible for kids to be nurtured and cared for through loving parents. Everything about Your plan for unity in relationships comes together through the family unit, and this demonstrates Your matchless wisdom and love for us all.
Thank You, Heavenly Father, for putting a stop to the plan of the devil to infiltrate school systems. We know that he wants to plant lies in the minds of children so they will not grow up in Your love and so they will not know what You have accomplished for us all through Jesus Christ. Please protect our children from this Heavenly Father. Protect them from people that worship the devil and are trying to introduce this in schools.
Jesus Christ taught in Matthew 18:6(NLT), “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Our Lord and Savior said this about children, because all of us, no matter our age, must be humble like them. When they are young, it is the responsibility of all adults to help them where we can, and to model Christ before them. Please always help us to be mindful of this, especially with our own children.
Please give parents a heighten sense of awareness and instincts when it comes to looking out for our kids. Please open our eyes to what is happening in their classrooms and to take appropriate actions that preserve their safety. Thank You for helping us to safeguard their minds and hearts from evil and darkness, and for giving them compassionate and caring teachers that You can work through.
You tell us in Proverbs 22:6(NKJV), “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Please help us to do this, Heavenly Father. Please bless our children, because they belong to You. You have given them to us to steward and guide, and we dedicate their lives to You. Please help us to teach them the ways of Jesus Christ and steer them clear of the world’s dark influence. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.■
