Prayer Emphasis for the day: School Children

Scripture: O Lord, our Sovereign,
   how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens.
   Out of the mouths of babes and infants

you have founded a bulwark because of your foes,
   to silence the enemy and the avenger. Psalm 8:1-2

Corporate Prayer: Lord Jesus, you said, “let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Father, protect all children now whose education is disrupted by this global pandemic. Give them the resources and safety they need to learn as they are away from school. Help them turn to you, their great teacher, to learn and gain the skills needed for a long and abundant life. Amen.

Personal Prayer: Continue in prayer for a few minutes for school children. Pray that each child is known and seen by the Lord, and receives all they need to learn in the safety of their own homes.
