We have previously covered Oklahoma’s Superintendent Ryan Walters, who is now facing serious backlash over bringing Bibles back to schools. As he faces this wave of opposition for doing the right thing, let’s cover him in prayer!
From CBN. Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters is spearheading a controversial mandate to reintroduce the Bible in public school classrooms, one of several faith-based moves that have led to roughly 30 lawsuits from various groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). …
Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.
The son of a pastor and a former history teacher, Walters has taken the national spotlight for mandating Oklahoma teachers to use a physical copy of the Bible during student instruction, alongside the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Ten Commandments. He insists these documents are crucial for a proper education. …
Critics argue that this mandate crosses the line between religious instruction and secular education, a line defined by Supreme Court rulings such as Engel v. Vitale (1962) and Abington School District v. Schempp (1963), which prohibit school-sponsored Bible readings and prayer.
“We have seen the Supreme Court starting in the 1960s and then the teachers’ unions, in every practical way, pushing the Bible out of schools,” Walters said. “When I came into office, we had multiple threats of lawsuits from national atheist organizations telling teachers to remove the Bible… to remove Bible verses, to never mention God or Jesus in the classroom. Well, think about the absurdity of that. How do you teach the Pilgrims, why they came to America, if you can’t ever mention the Bible?”
Several organizations, including the ACLU, have filed lawsuits against Walters’ office, arguing that the mandate violates the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits government-sponsored religious activities in public schools. …
The ACLU has also filed a lawsuit against Walters and Oklahoma’s Statewide Virtual Charter School Board, challenging the approval of St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, which could become the nation’s first publicly funded religious charter school. Critics argue that using taxpayer dollars for religious schools violates both the Oklahoma Constitution and the Establishment Clause.
“We’re continuing to fight to give St. Isidore the ability to open up,” Walters explained. “We’ve had several legal battles. I’m very optimistic this will move to the U.S. Supreme Court, and we will be allowed to open the school. I’ve been advocating for this school. It’s the first Christian charter school in the country. We are very excited to have that here in Oklahoma, but again, we’ve got some legal hurdles to overcome.”
These cases are among the dozens of lawsuits filed against Walters’ office, which also include claims of wrongful termination, whistleblower retaliation, and other constitutional violations. …

Father, we pray that You would give Ryan Your protection and favor. Bless him with supernatural wisdom and guidance as he faces these attacks from several fronts. Keep him strong and focused on You.
Father, we pray that you would Ryan Your favor and blessing. Protect him and give him supernatural wisdom and guidance through this trial.
Father thank you for this courageous man.
Bless him with your divine presence and protection in Jesus name
Lord I thank you for the courage, focus, and determination of Ryan Walters. As we see the very angry backlash from the left, we know that it is Satan behind their fury. Your word says that the nation who calls you Lord will be blessed. How we desperately need that blessing. I pray that you will strengthen and protect Ryan Walters and his family, and that his courage will inspire others to also work to bring the Bible back into our schools.
DEAR LORD GOD
PLEASE PROTECT RYAN WALTERS IN THIS TIME OF ATTACK ON HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY. I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Amen
Lord, your Word is vital to the spiritual growth of our children so please protect Ryan Walters in this endeavor. Send your angel army to protect him, his family and all those who believe in you. There is NOTHING impossible for you!
The Christian Bible is the True Word of God, First and Foremost in the U.S.A. It is to be honoured with the original charters in the U.S.A , first and foremost, in the educations of all American places of U.S.A education.
Ryan, you are a forerunner with the faith of David to step out and take a down a giant. God is with you! Nothing is impossible with God!
Father Jehovah, Psalm 138:2 states: “. . .For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.” As for Ryan Walters, he is magnifying Your Word and I pray You would protect him and his family/loved ones from every weapon that comes against them. Your Word in Isaiah 54:17 says: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the LORD. I declare this Word of the LORD over and for Ryan Walters in the name of Jesus/Yeshua! YES and AMEN, So be it!!!
In Mathew 25 when Christ commanded us to love God and all your neighbors including your enemies, he meant to feed, clothe, or visit your sick or jailed enemies He didn’t mean for us to be like them. He meant for our kind example to inspire them to be like true Christians too. So, yes, pray to love our enemies, all of them.
Father God, May these efforts of Ryan Walters prevail In placing Bibles and the 10 Commandments,, and other Historic documents back in schools. When Universties like Harvard, Yale, Princeton and others were founded on these Christian documents, and our History itself speaks of the Puritans and other Christians who risked their lives in the effort to establish these Freedoms that we hold so dear. Let us Pray for Righteousness to have its way in accordance with God’s will .
amen
LORD OUR GOD, Our only defense in time of trouble without whom nothing is possible: hold Ryan Walters up with your right hand that he not be be overcome by adversity. Command your loving kindness in the daytime, and may your song be with him in the night… The song of praise unto our God as he experiences victory over every one of his enemies! In Jesus’s name and under his authority, amen
Dear Father, we pray Your righteousness over Ryan. We pray Your favor over him, for Your name sake. We ask You Lord to protect Him, and turn us back to honoring You, the Bible and the constitution! May he be strong in You and the strength of Your might. May all the enemies plans be thwarted, in Jesus Christ I pray!
Sadly, satanist clubs are allowed, vile teachers dressed in drag and being immoral examples are allowed in classrooms, and not one
of those folks ate in tge least concerned how its all affecting the children, and causing them many emotional and developmental delays, due to not getting proper education based on their developmental skills and necessary education in Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Science, History , and Social skills. Learning how to treat one another, no matter the differences, and that we are all the same red blood, and need compassion, understanding, kindness, polite manners, in which there used to be no laws against such! However, the further removed from biblical principles, and songs like Jesus Loves The Little Children, or Jesus Loves Me,or God Bless America, and our National Anthem, the further our children are pushed into a non caring individual. Parents, here ease step up, EVERYWHERE. Ryan Walters is not the only one fighting, and each child is important enough
to fight for. Finally, Homeschool works very well, and if there is a will,there is a way, God Will Always Lead you, guide you, takecare of your needs, Trust and have Faith.
I was a “pilgrim” homeschooler of the 90’s, and by school year 2000,
we had 1,000,000 homeschooling families in The USA! So, it works, many of our children are now homeschooling their children!
Please Dear Lord, Hear our prayers, Know our hearts and minds, guide our lives to be in obedience to You and not the corrupt officials as Rom 14 tells us. Obey the laws, but if the government rises up against You and Your principles/laws we need to obey You first.
In Jesus Christ’s name Amen
Our country’s officials have left God.
I pray he will be victorious in his
fight and will win this Battle
Lord our Children need guide lines to go by that is only offered in the word of God
We need to save our children and our schools; it won’t happen without you Lord.
Praying for Holy Spirit boldness to come forth out of his month and for
darkness to be destroyed in Jesus name. I plead the blood over him for protection.
Father God, cover Ryan Walters today with your peace, Grace, love and courage! Allow his actions to be fueled by your Eagle wings and carry your Word, and Your Vision to the people of Oklahoma and to the entire nation.
I pray for all Christian’s to gather together and pray for this battle. It is in your hands Heavenly Father. Give us the courage and the will to fight the battle against the spirits which want to snuff out Christ and His Word.
In earlier decades, no one would be considered educated if they lacked knowledge of the Bible, its stories, its history, its moral precepts, its characters. Now…do young people now about Samuel (“speak Lord, for your servant is listening”), Jesus (“not my will, but Thine be done”), and all the other holy people who gave up their own pleasures and ambitions to live holy lives with a view of eternity?
This is a very important plea to keep prayers going. Only God can
Help us so we pray to you our God.
There is a problem as you know. The USA is a secular state with no official religion. The constitution does not mention the Trinity and is therefore not Christian. Is this good man happy for other religions
to explain their ‘sacred’ texts alongside the Bible in his schools? Freedom of religion is two-way street.
I disagree with T Mc who states wrongly that this country is not a Secular State. In fact, the Constitution represents the United States with Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, and more Amendments. As we know, this country was Founded of Judeo-Christian Principles. It will be followed by Judeo-Christians persuasions as long as our freedoms fpllow the original intent of the Founding Fathers. God Bless America,Land that We Love.
We are talking about how America was founded and the principles. Separation of church and state is found nowhere in the constitution. If Americans really read the constitution and studied our true history they would know the truth and that darkness is trying to destroy America. Finally someone came along that would stand up for the truth. Separation of church and state is a communist, marxist idea and not the intention of the original founders.
May God Bless you and your efforts to make a difference in Oklahoma and in our world! Heavenly Father, please protect Ryan Walters, as he seeks to restore truth, and Biblical Worldview in his position in Oklahoma schools. Please keep him safe, and guide his paths as he follows You! Please scatter his enemies, and may the enemies be seen as ridiculous and may their evil intentions and actions against You be revealed to all people, and the courts as we fight for your truth to be revealed.
Almighty God and Father knows all things and delights when we honor him. Amen
I think Ryan Walters is doing a great job and setting an example for other states to do the same. I never had a problem with the Bible being in school when I was a child. In the middle of my sixth grade year the government removed the Bible from out classrooms. I was disappointed and confused by this action which made no sense to me at that time. In later years when studying world history I was always trying to relate what happen in the Bible to what was going on in the world during those times. I think it will be amazing to have that correlation between Biblical history and world history in the classrooms. Trying to bring this back into the classroom will take some time to develop but will be well worth the effort. The Bible is the oldest history book on earth and should not be treated as if it is nonessential. There is so much knowledge in its pages that all students can benefit from learning, in a few years we will see a better quality citizen.
This has been a prayer on my heart since I was a youth for the Bibles to be back in schools. I remember driving through San Francisco in early 2000. The rainbow flags were lining the streets. I remember talking with the Lord about this and thinking it’s this was because Bibles have been taken out of schools. When I got home I told my grandpa who was a pastor about what I had felt. He gave me the book on the woman who got the Bibles removed from the schools. I devoured her biography. I remember thinking if one person can get the Bibles out then one person can get them back in. I’m so happy to hear about this man of courage doing just that. Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.
Jesus, we lift up Ryan Walters and we pray for continued strength and courage for this mighty man of God as he forges the way forward. May you give him the victory and may this set a precedent for our entire nation. Bless him and his family with protection and peace. In Jesus name amen!
The biggest weird thing about this is …
The establishment clause is actually being violated by Atheism in this country.
Atheism is a religion that is teaching its molecules to man origin story as fact and “science” and making the kids answer test questions about it as truth not as religion.
There is no problem with Re aching atheistic and christian worldviews as such and testing the kids on their understanding of the worldviews. The problem is when we teach these worldviews and then give the kids litmus tests on them as truth.
So this attack on Walters is hypocrisy as the other side is established wrongly in the public schools.
Bible believers are taxpayers. Last I checked public schools are to represent the public and news flash: There are lots of Bible believers in our communities! Christian dollars can pay for everything else to be in classroom, why not the Bible? My solution is: give us our money back and let us decide what we want to fund!!
Thank you Mr. Walters! May the country follow suit. America a REVIVAL is Coming! Its starting now! Hallelujah!
Amen!!

Thank you God for Ryan Walters, a man you have placed in this position at this particular time. God bless him with the confidence he is in your favor. Protect him from the enemy’s darts. And may his good works spur others on to good courage and the kind of faith that you talk about in your holy Word. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Fighting for the inclusion of the Bible will always be the correct choice, both in the spiritual and physical realm. The children of God still in the physical realm, and the fallen in the spiritual realm both agree on its power. Knowing this, we pray:
Lord, please bless and protect Ryan with your favor, but also with your grace and mercy. Thank you for men of his character who take this path for the Gospel, despite the hardships, lies, and disadvantages that will be thrown at him by the secular world. May others be emboldened by his example, becoming like-minded and may America be SAVED!
Father ,
Protect this “Man of Courage, for You!”
May you rise up YOUR Warring Angels & Fellow Warriors to Fight for Him & His Heart, Stand!
Jesus Name ,Amen
Father, thank you for this Superintendent’s courage. Help him to stand firm. May the teaching of the Bible not be twisted to teach falsehoods. May teachers who pick it up be changed by what it says. We bind Satan from what he is trying to do and bless this school district.
Father in Heaven may your justice in these lawsuits prevail. Father I thank you for truly a deciple of yours I pray for your protection and strength that you can provide for Ryan Walter’s. In Jesus name Amen
It is a bit late for this – who would teach the Scripture – who would teach the Ten Commandments? What if the teacher is divorced and remarried or living with someone? Could such a person teach God’s Holy Word? The Bible is not like a Maths book – or a geography book.
There are plenty of true “Christians ” who can step up and teach the Bible. God will send the right ones to the right place in his time.
America was built on Biblical principles. It is a Christian Nation, and will return to what God created it for. To serve HIM not man.
Curriculum has already been developed and used in Christian private and parochial schools. God did not restrict who can read His Word and ultimately Holy Spirit teaches the teacher.
In consideration of all the resources that are taught in the classroom, the Bible should be including because of its profound impact on western civilization. America exist because of the Bible. Ryan walters has stated that it should be a historic and literary resource. He’s not asking ANYONE to teach theology. Now about divorce. God forgives divorcee and they are free to serve HIM with their lives.
We will assuredly pray for Ryan Walters as he is enduring horrible abuse through lawfare. We will pray that he comes out as innocent through the ruling of the Supreme Court, whenever that happens.
Lord Jesus we pray for the success of these efforts to be able to teach truth in the classroom. Thank you Amen.
We serve a just God. We have to be courageous as the early church was. We need more men and women with a back bone. Help us to be strong in You Dear Lord.
LORD GOD
PLEASE SUPPORT AND PROTECT RYAN AS HE IS UNDER SATANIC ATTACK. HELP HIM TO WIN AND GAIN JUSTICE FOR THE CHILDREN HONEED YOUR WORDS IN THEIR LIVES.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Let’s start by reintroducing the Bible to Christian homes.
Thank You, Lord, for raising up Ryan Walters to spearhead an effort to return the Word of Truth back into the public arena. Strengthen him, Holy Spirit, that he may remain steadfast in this pursuit of righteousness. May Ryan’s efforts lead many more believers to take up the Sword of the Spirit to do battle against the demonic forces that constantly fight against Your Word. Bring this case to the Supreme Court and use the Justices You have placed in this Court to clearly define what the “Establishment Clause” actually means. Bless Ryan one hundred fold for His stand and may many believers stand beside him and hold up his arms in this battle.
Lord Jesus, I thank and praise You for this godly man, Ryan Walters. I commend the Courageous stand that he has taken for You and Your Kingdom. Let this be but a beginning of the advancement of your kingdom in our nation, and a wake up call for the numerous intimidated and complacent Christians in America. Lord , how we need a national revival! May these events bring this to pass. ThankYou, Jesus.
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you with my prayer for Ryan Waters! He is trying to stop the indoctrination of our children! The teachers unions are fighting him to stop the Bible being taught in the schools of Oklahoma! Lord we pray that you would give Ryan strength to continue to be a voice for You! And Lord AG Drummond is fighting against him too! Please Lord bless this for the children today! He stopped critical race theory in the schools. Please help him continue to be Your voice in the schools!
In Jesus Name
Dear Lord we stand against the oppression of the devil by the authority given to us in Ephesians 2:6 that we are seated in heavenly places together with You and command the enemy to flee.
Thank you Lord for raising up this man to put your Truth in the schools again , thank you for your beautiful Spirit that lives in him and that nothing that comes against him will turn him down knowing this is Your task and You will give him the victory.
“Whoever is born of God overcomes the world”🌎
1 John 5:4
In Jesus Name our beautiful Savior we pray
Dear Jesus continue to set his feet upon a rock
Smite the enemy with compassion and continue to give Ryan courage
Lord, thank you for raising up such a strong godly man as Ryan Walters. Give him good strong advisors and allies. Help them to walk courageously, without fear in spirit and truth covered by the armor of God and prayers of your people. Go before him teaching him and all with him to use the weapons mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, imaginations and everything that sets itself up against the fear and knowledge of God, taking every thought captive making it obedient to Christ. We ask that you establish this strong stand for what is right and good as an example to others as the good that is found in standing on the Word and teaching our children from the Word of Truth.
No physical, legal, or spiritual weapon formed against this man or his office will stand! As he is standing for truth and righteousness, our Lord will stand with him, and cause him to stand, holding him up in his footsteps! In Jesus’s name and under His authority, amen
Father protect Ryan Walters and let your will be done. May your people continue to rise and stand against evil. In the mighty name of Jesus our lord and savior.
Amen
Father,
Give Ryan Walters wisdom and discernment. Give him Your strategies to fight in this battle to bring Biblical truth back into schools. Give him favor like a shield. Let no weapon formed against him prosper. Keep him in Your perfect peace. Let no strategy of the enemy succeed against him and those standing with him. Give him the victory so that children may know the truth and the truth will set them free.
In Jesus Holy and Mighty Name. Amen.
Atheism is a religion. Only an omniscient God could accurately say, “There is no God.” G.K. Chesterton put it another way in his autobiography. He said it would be truer to say that there are no Atheists. To take all positive mention of God out of the public schools is to establish Atheism as the state religion. The Atheists are themselves violating the establishment clause of the Constitution.
Oh my is that truth!!
Amen…and it is so true!!!
“But Maccabeus, as always, trusted with all hope that God would be present to help them.
And he exhorted his own not to fear the arrival of the nations, but to keep in mind the assistance they had received before from heaven, and now to hope for a future victory from the Almighty.”
2 Maccabees 15:7-8 CPDV
Hallelu Yah! Praise ye, Name of the One. Your people praise Your Holy Name. Yahshua- Salvation of Yah, Almighty Warrior; Holy Spirit – The Helper, The Wind and The Fire…
You are always working, even when You are silent, You are never still. Your works are wonderful.
As Ryan Walter’s engages in this battle, a battle that You appointed for him, I thank You that You already are meeting his each and every need. You help him in his weakness, You intercede, You move him toward his destination and You freely give him Your wisdom, discernment and power, You have given him You Armor of Light!
Most Holy One, dominate his thoughts, continue to pour over him the Power of Your Holy Spirit, open his eyes as you opened Elijah’s servant’s eyes:
“God opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” 2 Kings 6
This battle belongs to You; Omnipresent , Omnipotence and Omniscience One. I thank You for Your oversight of all things Oklahoma, all things USA, world and universe.
In the Name of Your Son, King of Kings and LORD of Lords, Jesus.

“And Judas said: “It is easy for many to be enclosed in the hands of a few, for there is no difference in the sight of the God of heaven to liberate by means of many, or by means of few. For victory in warfare is not in the multitude of the army, but in the strength from heaven.”
1 Maccabees 3:18-19 CPDV

“And Asa cried out to the Lord his God, and said, “Lord, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O Lord our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O Lord, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!””
II Chronicles 14:11 NKJV
But God……..
FATHER,
We pray for Ryan Walters who is standing for the bible, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Ten Commandments to be taught in schools. Lord, keep him stable, strong, diligent, in how he is representing You and himself. Give him wisdom to plead his case, and the lawyers representing him as well. Father, we ask for the judges in the courts to listen with righteous judgement on behalf of Superintendent Walters. We decree and declare that “NO weapon formed against Ryan Walters shall prosper and what is trying to come up against him will be showed wrong.” Lord, change the hearts of the atheist, the witches, the pharisees whom come against your Word, Your truth. Bring them to their knees so they cry out MERCY, and their blinders come off and their ears open to hear the TRUTH and accept YOU. In Jesus Name AMEN

Dearest Heavenly Father: We lift Ryan Walters to you, Lord. You know him. You see what he is trying to do. He is trying to right a wrong imposed years ago. In Proverbs 16:7 you tell us that when a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies be at peace with him. We ask that you silence and make those attacking Mr. Walters all be at peace with him. In Isaiah 54:13 you say “And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression: for thou shalt not fear; and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.” You further remind us in Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon formed against thee shall prosper; and EVERY TONGUE that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.” Father we declare your word which will not return to you void over Mr. Walters and ask you to silence those opposing Mr. Walters doing work for you. Give him victory in this work as we give you All Glory, Honor, Power and Praise for you alone are Worthy to be Praised! We pray this prayer in the Mighty Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Savior, Healer, Protector, Best Friend Ever — our Everything! Amen
