Back To School Prayer For All Students
Kind and loving Father, I seek your anointing and covering over my life on this day. I ask that you protect my going out and my coming in as school reopens and as the journey continues.
I pray for your guidance in every footstep. My Lord, May I keep your every word so that it will be a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. I shall not be distracted from my studies but I’ll keep my focus on You, my king.
Ecclesiastes 12:1-3 Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor Him in your youth before you grow old and say, ‘Life is not pleasant anymore.’ Remember Him before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is dim to your old eyes, and rain clouds continually darken your sky.
Use Me And Guide My Studies
Use me to shine your light in those around me, so that those who don’t know you will come to know you and those who know you will build a stronger relationship with you.
I pray that my ear will be shut to ungodly words. Open my eyes to only see what is of good reports and not those that defile you. I pray for friends that will uplift your name and not shame it.
Help me to keep focused on my education and accomplish my objectives in life. Help me to understand what is being taught and let me apply it in my life.
Open my mind to all knowledge and help me use it for the good. I pray that I will not worry about this journey but I will leave it all in your hands Jesus because you are my refuge and strength.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Praying for Student’s Protection
Lord, protect me from actions that are against your will for my life: drugs, alcohol, obscenity, sexual immoralities and every other behavior contrary to you.
Heavenly Father, remove every stumbling block in my educational journey. Guide me in the paths of righteousness, for your name’s sake.
I pray that no enemy will come near to me. Let no harm come to me because I am protected by the blood of the perfect lamb that was slain for me.
Help me make this journey a successful, productive and accomplishing one. This I ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Heavenly Father, as students around the world return to school, we come before You to entrust this new academic year into Your caring hands. May Your wisdom and grace accompany them in every classroom and learning situation.

Cover each student with Your protection as they navigate both familiar and new environments. Keep them safe from harm, both physical and emotional, and build within them a resilience that is grounded in Your strength. In Jesus name, Amen.
