The school year and all of the newness that comes with it is upon us. Prayer is the only thing that will get us through seasons of transition. So as your kids head back-to-school—whatever that may look like for you—we invite you to pray these prayers with us—believing God to bring peace and provision for your family, teachers, and community.

Back-to-School Prayers for Teachers, Students, and Parents

TEACHERS

Dear God, Thank You for the amazing teachers who have devoted their lives to serve our children. As they navigate this unique school year, fill them with strength to lead and thrive in their classroom—whatever it may look like! Protect their bodies from illness and their spirits from weariness as they pour into the next generation through education. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

TRUST

Dear God, Please help me to trust You in every detail this school year. I give You my anxiety, my fears, and every emotion that distracts me from You. I ask for a renewed sense of confidence as I trust You to help me navigate this next year. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

PROVISION

Dear God, Today I ask for Your provision to carry my family this year. Help me rest in the fact that You are good and will take care of us. Thank You for blessing our family with everything we need and more so we can bless others. Help us to always remember the truth of Your promises when circumstances tell us otherwise. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

PEACE

Dear God, Thank You for the gift of peace. Help me to focus on You so I can walk in Your peace every day this school year. Show me how to sow peace into my family and the lives of those in our community. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

PROTECTION

Dear God, Thank You for keeping my children safe whether they are learning at school or at home. Please protect our hearts and minds and our bodies as we return to our learning community this year. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

PERSEVERANCE

Dear God, Your Word says we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Please strengthen our family to persevere this year, no matter how unclear our path may be. Help me to be an example of Your strength as I lead my children on their learning journey. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

PATIENCE

Dear God, It’s so easy to become impatient when life doesn’t look like we thought it would. Please help me to not rush ahead of You. I trust You to guide me and my children as we wait with patience. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

JOY

Dear God, Thank You for the gift of education. As our children adapt to new, exciting and even challenging circumstances, may Your joy be their strength! I pray they would meet each day with positivity knowing that whatever comes their way, they do not have to face it alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.,
