Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts burdened for the protection and spiritual well-being of our children. You are the Creator of all things, the Father of lights, and the giver of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17). Our children are Your heritage, precious in Your sight, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). You have called them to walk in the light of Christ, and we stand on Your Word that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

Lord, we rebuke every attempt of darkness to encroach upon the hearts and minds of our children. In the name of Jesus, we cancel the assignment of the enemy through programs like the so-called “empathy” classes offered by The Satanic Temple. We take authority over every scheme of the adversary and declare that these efforts will be exposed, dismantled, and brought to nothing. Your Word says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). Shine Your light over every school, home, and community, Lord, and scatter the darkness.

We declare divine protection over every child. Father, assign Your holy angels to guard them in all their ways (Psalm 91:11). Cover them under the shadow of Your wings, where no evil can touch them (Psalm 91:4). We plead the blood of Jesus over their hearts, minds, and spirits. Every lie of the enemy seeking to distort their identity, sow confusion, or plant seeds of rebellion is silenced in Jesus’ name. We declare that our children are taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace (Isaiah 54:13).

Father, we speak life and truth into our children’s identity. You have called them Your sons and daughters, heirs of the Kingdom, and joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:16-17). Let their identity in Christ be firmly rooted in their hearts. Remind them that they are loved unconditionally, chosen before the foundation of the world, and equipped with a divine purpose (Ephesians 1:4). Help them to know that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).

Lord, we pray for boldness and discernment for parents and guardians. Strengthen them to stand in righteousness and truth, to speak up against ungodly influences, and to equip their children with the knowledge of Your Word. Give them wisdom to nurture their children’s faith and courage to shield them from spiritual harm. Let parents raise their children in the way they should go so that when they are older, they will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6).

Holy Spirit, move mightily within the schools. We pray that You will stir the hearts of teachers, administrators, and staff to stand for righteousness. Let Christian programs flourish and bear fruit for Your Kingdom. Close every door that the enemy is trying to open through initiatives like the “HAIL” program. Let the efforts of The Satanic Temple be thwarted and utterly fail.

Father, we pray for revival among children and youth. Let their hearts burn for You, Lord. Raise up a generation of intercessors, evangelists, and worshippers who will boldly proclaim Your name and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. Fill them with Your love, compassion, and truth so that they may stand as lights in the darkness, shining with the radiance of Christ (Matthew 5:14-16).

Finally, Lord, we pray for the individuals behind programs like this one. We ask that You soften their hearts, convict them of sin, and reveal to them the love and salvation found only in Jesus Christ. Turn what the enemy meant for evil into an opportunity for Your glory to shine.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray and decree these things. Amen and Amen!
