5 Verses to Pray as your kids start school

This morning my kids began their second week at school. While today didn’t go as smoothly as the first day of school we are still expecting a great school year. The new year brings new teachers, new friends, new routines and new material. Each one of my kids has their own unique strengths and struggles. While my desire is that this will be a smooth, easy year I know in reality we will have out times of struggle. So as my kids begin their school year I spent some time praying and asking God to give me a few verses to pray over my kids as they go through this year.

I want to share with you 5 Verses to Pray as your kids start school.

Prayer for Confidence

“So do not throw away your confidence, because it has great reward.” Hebrews 10:35

Prayer for Courage

” Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged; for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Prayer for walking in God’s Truth

Prayer for Endurance

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.” Hebrews 12:1-2
