I lift our children to you. I thank you for these precious gifts of life and for entrusting them to my care. Please bless them today. Send your angels to protect them and calm their worries. Wrap them Lord in your loving arms. Help them to have a positive relationship with their teachers. Help their teachers to walk in integrity and guide their steps and their lessons, may they teach the children in all your ways. I pray that you bless them with the ability to learn easily and retain knowledge. Lord, you are the source of all wisdom and knowledge. Your word tells us we have the mind of Christ. I pray that you would pour your wisdom and understanding upon our children so they can grasp concepts quickly and easily. Help them to develop a love for learning and to see the value in education. I pray there school adopts a relevant curriculum that prepares them for their future. I pray our children have a positive attitude toward learning and accepts the full curriculum as preparing them for their career path. I pray that our children will have the strength and determination to overcome any challenges or obstacles that come their way. May they be encouraged and inspired to pursue their dreams and aspirations.Lord, I commit our children to your loving care, knowing that you have a plan and a purpose for their lives. I trust in your provision and guidance, and I pray that our children will grow in knowledge and wisdom and in their love for you. May their lives bring you glory and honor. Bless them with Christian friends that are walking in your ways. Strengthen their faith and friendships. Bless us financially and with wisdom and understanding. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray amen.
