Let’s pray for our children, youth, young people, and educators as they return to school. Many of them return to classrooms this week.

Let’s pray for their families as back-to-school season touches everyone.

Let’s pray for adults pursuing degrees.

Let’s pray for the administrators, staff, coaches, drivers, crossing guards, nurses, and all who make education accessible. Please consider, from wherever you may be, joining in a sunset prayer Sunday at around 8:08 p.m. Let’s ask God to bless everyone involved in the new school year. Let’s ask God to protect and nourish and encourage everyone. Let’s ask Him to quiet anxiety and to amplify energy and focus and courage and cooperation in this challenging pandemic-shaped season.

Let’s pray for our college students and for all the people they rely upon in their campus communities.

Let’s pray for high school, middle school, grade school, pre-school, and home-schooled students and the people they rely on at home and school.

If sunset doesn’t fit for you, choose another time, and re-visit your school prayers as often as your heart reminds you, Let’s keep the school year, and everyone involved, wrapped in prayer.
