Back-to-School in Style: Power Prayer Decrees for Your Kids

It's that time again! School's back in session for so many of our young people and that means new adventures, new fun and new challenges! ​Send your kids off to school this semester with power and a mind to WIN! A productive day begins and ends with prayer.Teach your kids these five power declarations and incorporate them into your prayer time every morning or evening and watch God make a way for them each and every day. 
5 Back-to-School Power Declarations for Every Day

1. God you are my peace and the Lord of this day. This is the day you have made and I am determined to have joy in you today.
2. I know that you are with me Lord. I ask you to lead and guide my choices today and help me to hear your voice in every situation I face. 
3. Lord bless my teachers today. Give them wisdom to understand what I need and give me grace to listen and learn. 
4. You are the Lord over my relationships. Teach me true friendship and bring people into my life that have the best in mind for me. Show me how to choose good friends and give me a heart to love how you love. 
5. I commit this day to you completely! Protect me and my school, my bus or car ride and my return home and cover me from any plans of the enemy. You are my rock and my shield God. 

Remember, prayer time is not about the perfect words or the longest time, but sincerity, commitment and devotion. Pray with your kids every day and they will value the power of God's role in their lives.  See below for six bonus prayer scriptures to use in your morning or before-bed devotions.
