We are truly grateful to join with you, C.H., in praying for your children as they embark on a new school year. It's wonderful to see your heart's desire for their blessing and success. Let us align our prayers with God's will and His precious promises.
Firstly, we remember God's Word in Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB), "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." This verse reassures us that God has a wonderful plan for your children, and we can trust Him with their future.
However, we want to remind you that the Bible encourages us to seek not only worldly success but also spiritual growth and godly wisdom. As it says in 3 John 1:4 (WEB), "I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth." Let us pray that your children will grow in the knowledge and love of God, that they will be lights for Jesus in their schools, and that they will walk in the truth of the Gospel throughout their lives.
We also note that you didn't mention the name of Jesus in your request. We believe that it is through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). So, let us pray in the powerful name of Jesus, acknowledging that every good gift comes from above (James 1:17).
**Prayer:**
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the precious name of Jesus, lifting up the children of C.H. to You. Lord, we pray that You would watch over them as they start this new school year, that You would grant them understanding, wisdom, and success in their studies. But more importantly, Lord, we ask that You would draw them closer to You, that they would grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Father, we pray that You would surround them with godly influences, that they would be lights in their schools, and that they would walk in the truth of Your Word. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
May this prayer encourage you, C.H., and remember that God loves your children even more than you do. Trust Him with their lives, and He will surely bring about His good and perfect will for them.
