The Most Important Thing: Back to School Prayer

This is probably going to sound completely obvious, but here it is: The best thing you can do is pray for your child who is heading back to school. But don’t just pray by yourself for your kiddo. Praying with your child for him or her as you tuck them in the night before the new school day or in the car on the way to school can be a great source of comfort to a nervous (or not nervous) kid. Pray for spiritual, physical, and emotional safety. Pray for growth and learning. Pray that God would use the school year to help your child know and love him more.

Don’t forget to pray for the teachers, too! They have a difficult, often thankless job. The vast majority of them teach because they love kids and they feel a calling to equip the next generation (very similar to a children’s minister or youth pastor). A lot of teachers are Christians, and a lot of them would be thrilled to know someone is praying for them.
