Prayer for Wisdom and Knowledge in School

Sharing is caring!

When the school bells ring each year on the first day of school, our children must shift gears. Summer vacation is over, and now they must place their focus on their studies.

Whether you have a child in grade school, high school, or college, as parents, we need to pray for them daily, especially during the academic months.

The adjustment of going back to school after a summer of fun is difficult because the mind still wants to wander.

God hears your petitions for your children over their schooling, their minds, and their hearts while protecting them from the outside world.

As you pray for them, you have peace by entrusting them to God’s care.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding…                                                                                                                                                 Psalm 111:10

#1 Prayer For Wisdom And Knowledge In School

Teacher of All Teachers, God of All gods,

Thank you for blessing my child with the opportunity to learn and receive an education. Thank you for blessing me with my own education.

Lord, I pray over my children for your protection, guidance, and firm hand upon their hearts and mind.

Please lead them in the way you desire them to go. Open their minds and hearts to learn while having the wisdom to discern that which is not in line with your teachings.

Make them imitators of your character, so those around them will see you. Prevent them from bending or compromising on their beliefs.

Please place Godly friends in their life. May they be strong in their conviction to follow you.

Help my child to be compassionate towards those who do not know you so they may be a witness of your love and have eternal life in heaven. Let the unbelievers be won by the actions and words that you place within my child.

Keep my child safe from peer pressure and let them be a leader in doing what’s right. Help them to be an example for others. Protect them from bullying in school and to stand up for those who are being bullied.

I pray for the other students in school. Please wrap your arms of protection around each one and keep them safe while in school.

Cover the school, the students, each teacher, and staff members with your almighty blanket of peace and protection. May each door to the school be covered in the armor of your watchful and protective eye.

Father, I pray over the teachers. Give them the wisdom to instruct our children and light the path that you set before them.

I pray that you would give each student a mind that is sharp and focused so they may concentrate and learn. Let their minds be as sponges that soak up knowledge and retain it. Place in them a deep desire to do their best in getting good grades.

Place your hand of protection on each school bus that brings them to and from school. I pray that the same protection would be upon each student when they are home. Give them a nurturing home environment.

I pray these things in Jesus’s name, Amen.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding…  Psalm 111:10
