“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence. I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.”
2nd Samuel 22:2-4
  • Lord, I pray over the children in my church family right now.
    • Surround the children in our church family with Your presence and safety.
    • Guard them from physical, spiritual, and emotional dangers at school and at home.
    • I plead the blood of Jesus over all our schools, protecting students, teachers, and staff members.
    • Help our children develop a strong relationship with You.
    • Grant them strength to stand firm against temptation and strengthen their godly convictions.
    • Use them as a blessing and an example to others. Help them to have a godly separation from sin and worldliness while being testaments of Your goodness and power.
    • May they hide Your Word in their hearts to resist sin and share it with others.
  • God, I also pray over myself and my church family as we prepare to start the week.
    • I pray for physical and spiritual protection for myself and our church family.
    • Help us pass each test we face and bring glory to Your name through our actions. 
    • Guard our mouths to be a witness for You in the way we speak.
    • Protect us from influences that might tempt us to compromise our Christian standards.
    • Grant opportunities to reach the lost in our workplaces, leading us into conversations with those hungry for You.
    • Help us be diligent and hardworking, representing You well in all that we do.
    • May our work be done as unto the Lord, acknowledging the jobs You've blessed us with.
Thank You for hearing my prayers and allowing me to feel Your presence today.
Thank You for going before me, being with me and never forsaking me. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
I give this day to You.    I ask You to order my steps, and use me to be a blessing to others.
In Jesus’ name, amen!
