Pray for Schools Challenge
Intercessors, the school year is starting soon! Are you praying for children across the nation as they return to education?
This content is supported by your donations.
Give today.
Our Pennsylvania state prayer leaders Bill and Betsy West are challenging believers across the nation to pray this week before children return to school. IFA is inviting you to follow these 4 simple steps:
- Go to your nearest school,
- Get out of your vehicle,
- Pray for your nearest school and the new school year!
- Finally, take a picture of your feet on the campus. If you would like to do so, we invite you to share this photo on social media with the hashtag #footprintsoncampus.
With all that is going on in our schools, we think it is important to take the time to pray for every student, teacher, and administrator to choose to follow Christ. Let’s ask for God to change our school system from the inside out.
Together, we can cover our education system in prayer!
Please share this challenge!

Today, 9 sisters and brothers in the Lord from northern New Jersey walked and prayed at several schools in our area. It was an amazing experience!! We felt the Holy Spiritās presence the entire time!! The prayers you provided were perfect! Thank you so much!
Would love to share some pictures with you. Is there any way we can do that?
Dear God, we come to you today asking your blessing on our school administrators. Thank you that they have answered the call to lead our teachers and schools so that our children might learn in a safe and nurturing environment conducive to academic and personal success.
Bless our school administrators with wisdom, integrity, a sense of humor, patience and the physical and mental energy equal to their tasks. Bless them with strong support from parents, teachers and the community.
āEnable and empower our administrators to act as encouragers for our teachers, parents and students. May they be approachable, friendly and professional as they support our teachers. Give them insights into each teacherās unique gifts, strengths and abilities so that they might engage each teacher in roles that contribute to the common good.ā
We pray for patience and wisdom for our administrators when complaints arise from parents. Give them the grace to listen. We pray for parents that they will be reasonable and willing to listen . We pray that parents will first communicate with their childās teacher before escalating their complaint. Make parents aware that the school is working in the best interest of all as they seek practical solutions to improve the situation. We pray that our school administrators may have wisdom and discernment as they deal with discipline problems. Give them the information necessary about the special needs of individual students so they can decide the best course of action that will keep the classroom safe, orderly and stress free and at the same time help the disorderly student grow in their ability to develop appropriate behavior and coping skills. Father God May each classroom be free from disruptions, distractions and from anything that is detrimental to learning, concentration or personal well being. Free our students from the stress of perfectionism. Give them the wisdom to ask for help when they need it. God a lot of children come from homes of different disciplines, help the teachers to understand that different words are needed to make a child feel they are liked and loved. Please, be with the parents of our students. God help them to create home atmospheres where children have the rest, nutrition, structure, love and encouragement they need by being there to support them in their studies. God give the parents a keen interest in their children, what books being presented to the children, making sure it always appropriate for the child. Father God, these last few years Satan has taken control of some school boards, teachers, school principals and children, which are being taught perverted things in the classroom. Jesus we need prayer back in schools and a cleaning of libraries and teachers if needed! God we need your presence both at some homes and schools that are following rules that do not apply to teaching, but are being presented to control and set fort a evil presence. God I call down your love to flood inside of classrooms and that the prayers that are being prayed by Intercessors praying for the children. May your love and Grace fill all of the students that need you. Thank you Father!
“Change our school system from the inside out”
Our Father in Heaven,
While some parents are crying out to You to change the school system, I pray that You would gently remind each of them to search their own hearts and to change whatever “system” they practice in their own homes where Halloween–the devil’s highest holiday is celebrated! Even in some “churches” it is celebrated! Homes where the Bible lying unopened gathering dust on the shelf causes cobwebs to form in their minds. Homes where the children are allowed to play with all kinds of evil toys and watch cartoons and television programs that not only do not support Christian beliefs but actually oppose them. The problem with wayward children can often begin with their wayward parents and needs to end there first before the children can become everything GOD intended for them to be .
Sunday School needs to be for parents as well as for children.
So help us LORD JESUS to get back to basics. Amen
My wife and I do not do social media, so we have no place to send/post the pictures we took yesterday at an elementary school in Longview, TX. Is there someplace where we can post our pics?
What a blessing it was to pray for our community’s children.
YES AND AMEN!
Please pray!!!! Then, also figure out how to home school. For example, can you form a “pod” with 4 other members of your church or like minded community members, so that one parent can be home each day to homeschool the children from the pod. Check the regulations in your state. In mine, the group can hire a teacher, but unless the teacher is certified, they cannot call her a teacher – perhaps an assistant. One parent must be home while the “teacher” is there. One finds curriculum online – there are many to choose from.
Pray. ALL children will not have the fortune to be homeschooled, and the states require them to be in school. So, the schools need your prayers.
This is such a good idea. To pray on-site. Dear Lord let us all pray for our children as they go back to school. Please Lord save the little children ā£ļøand the middle school childrenā£ļø and the high school children. ā£ļø And the college students ā£ļøMay the Holy Spirit hover over them and protect them from all evil. ā£ļøAmenā£ļø
Amen! To all who prayed please remember this: As you all spoke to one another Words pleasing to God your words were written in His Book of Rememberance in Malachi 3:16. Also, Holy Spirit, the Communion of Saints, the Angels of the Lord are always presence whenever they are invited as Jesus continuously, intercede for us to God our father with prayer.
I’m a secondary certified teacher. I pray for all thestudents and staff in my district to come
,to know Christ as personal Savior and Lord. I also pray that my light will shine for Christ I. each day of this of this new school year until the end of school. In the precious Holy Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen ā¦š
Hi I want to give our intercessors hope and encouragement for our high schoolers. Last year we launched Operation P.R.A.Y (prayer reaching all youth) and prayed outside 5 California high school campuses one day a week with teens as they walked home from school. This literally took about 40 minutes of our time. We prayed with over 1,400 students, and 108 made decisions for Christ!!! 85% were young men! See what God can do in 40 minutes! This school year weāre adding 8 more California high schools and list keeps growing as more prayer warriors want to set up a prayer tent near their high school. We added Santa Ynez high school last week and on the first day, 29 students received prayer and 3 accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Our teens are hungry for the Lord! We then partner with the Christian club on campus to get them plugged in with other believers to receive on going discipleship. God is moving!!! http://www.operationpray.com
God bless your efforts! This is great news indeed and provides so much hope. Thank you. I will pray for your ongoing success.
I am out driving almost every day. As I drive by a school and observe the 20 mph sign I slow down and begin to pray: every student, each family represented, the whole community, teachers, all staff and as much as I can pray during that show drive. I just love to do this as unto the Lord.
Our church body brought into service pictures of every school in our area. Students attending those schools held the pictures and the body of believers gathered together and prayed for every school, student, family, faculty and staff member. We are seeing the Lord move mightily in our youth and we are believing for revival in the schools!
Thank U, IFA, for this practical suggestion of taking a photo of our feet on the campus of our nearest school for which we will pray! I love that & I will do it!
