#PrayingForOurSchools
We began a 31 day prayer initiative for our schools on August 12, 2020. We will
continue our collaborative prayers through September 11, 2020. Warrior
Ministries is working with other prayer groups, pastors, leaders, prayer
warriors and intercessors around the country. We began as a prayer ministry over
25 years ago. We have evolved into other areas of ministry, but prayer has
always been the main focus and foundation of the ministry. God is calling us
back to that place with an urgent mandate.
There are many areas that require fervent effectual prayers. I am so grateful
that so many of us have renewed our altars and are seeking the face of God like
never before. II Chronicles 7:14 gives us a powerful road map to seeing God heal
our land. We can’t continue to take detours along the way. We must follow God’s
specific directions. We proclaim that we are God’s people. Therefore we must
humble ourselves and pray. When we seek His face, we will see ourselves and our
ways that are not pleasing to Him. We will then turn from those wicked ways. He
will forgive our sins as we forgive others. Then, we will see healing in our
land.
Among many other things, we are seeking those who will join us in prayers for
our schools. We must lay aside whatever differences we might have and unite for
the good of our educational system. All of our schools are in need of our
prayers. Whether they are public, private, church, or home schools, we are
covering them in prayer. Our educational system touches every other system in
the world. Decisions that are being made today will have a lifetime effect on
all of us.
We cannot afford to be selfish in our prayers. We cannot allow any isms or
schisms to hinder our prayers from being answered. We can’t just pray for our
own, we must pray for all. We begin by asking God to create in us a clean heart
and renew a right spirit within us. We ask Him to use us as willing vessels to
pray for His will in our educational system. We have to earnestly pray for those
in authority that are making the decisions. We might not agree with the person
or their decisions, but according to God’s word, we yet have a responsibility to
pray. We are praying for our President, the Secretary of Education, our State
and Local Superintendents, and our School Boards.
We are praying for every school administrator, our teachers, our bus drivers,
cafeteria workers, counselors, janitors, coaches, support staff, and everyone
else who is touching the lives of our children. We are praying for parents and
grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends, pastors and youth leaders,
counselors and law enforcement, health care workers, and this entire village
that must be there as a united body of believers.
We are praying for those that are fearful and anxious about the days ahead. We
are asking God to grant peace in the midst of these troubling and difficult
times. We ask God to lead and guide parents to make the best decisions for their
children and families. We pray for those teachers that have been called into the
kingdom as educators and are struggling with fulfilling their purpose. We pray
that faith will stand over fear as we all seek God for His wisdom, guidance and
direction.
We lift up all of our children. We start at our day cares and our Pre-K
programs. We intercede for our colleges and universities and every type of
school in between. We are praying that God would cover the minds of all of our
children. We ask that He will grant them peace and great mental clarity. We pray
for an amazing school year in spite of the challenges that we are facing. We
pray according to Proverbs 3:5-6. We will not lean on our own understanding,
but we will trust in the Lord with all of our hearts. We will continue to submit
our school system to Him, and He will make our paths straight.
We are praying at noon daily on Face book and using other Social Media
platforms. Please contact me if you would like to share a prayer. Please post
prayers and words of encouragement at anytime. Encourage and continue to pray
for our students, parents, teachers, administrators, support personnel, and
school boards. “The Stage is Set for Something Great to Happen.” ~ Bishop Wiley
