Don't forget Prayer
It may take a while for your children to get comfortable in this new school year. So prepare with prayer. You can start praying now in fact! For them. For their teachers. For their current, and future friends!
You may not always see the result up front (though often you will!), but your prayers are potent. The Bible confirms, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16). That’s talking about you, mom & dad!
There are so many ways to support your kid’s education through prayer. Lift them up to the Lord while they’re at school and before they start their day. Pray for and with your kids; it can impact their school year for the better in powerful ways.
If you drive them to school, use some car time to pray with them, and thank God for the day and their teachers. Remember any needs your children express regarding tests or challenges ahead for the day. As a bonus, when your kids regularly pray at the start of their day, they will likely take this habit of God-dependence into adulthood.
