Thanking Jehovah Jireh For Our Children:

We thank You so much for our children – a heritage You generously gave us

We pray Your emotional, physical, and spiritual protection over them as they go back to school this year

We pray You pour out your Spirit and blessings upon our children from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same

Create in our children a clean heart and renew your steadfast spirit within them 

Let your will and not the will of man flourish in their lives at all times 

Let the words of their mouth and the meditation of their hearts be acceptable to You and edify others

Reveal Yourself to our children – Open the eyes of their hearts and cause them to see, hunger and thirst for You

Let them have a personal encounter with You that will cause them to worship You in Spirit and in truth

Grant our children revelation in the knowledge of You and surround them with your hedge of protection

Send your angels to take charge of them; to keep them in all their ways, hold them in their hands so they don’t dash their foot against a stone

Let your Spirit of excellence accompany them every day. 

Let  this school year be their best year ever with excellent grades, favor with teachers and classmates and good behavior. 

Enable our children to continue growing in wisdom and stature all the days of their lives

Perfect that which concerns  our children’s lives; let what You are doing in their lives be permanent

By faith, we decree our children will be at the right place, at the right time throughout this school year

No weapon formed or fashioned against the peace of our children shall prosper; they that gather for their sake shall stumble and fall

No evil shall befall our children; neither shall any plague come near their school and dwelling place

Let your peace that surpasses all understanding envelope them at all times

Let your joy be their strength. Help them to trust You as their refuge and fortress, their God in whom they trust

Guard their minds from bad counsel and peer pressure. Bless them with your Spirit of discernment to know and do what is right at all times

Strengthen their heart and spirit to resist the devil, so that he will flee from them

Teach them to cast all their anxiety upon You, trusting and genuinely knowing that You care for them

Let your light shine in their lives and cause all forms of darkness around them to flee. Father, set them apart as light in a dark world and cause them to shine like a city on a hill 

Make them strong and courageous in the presence of danger. Let them be assured You will never leave nor forsake them as they remain strong in You and Your mighty power, in Jesus’ name.

By Faith, we decree  And DECLARE our children will:

Will develop a passion and hunger for the things of God.

They will love the Word and not the world with all of their heart, soul, and mind, in Jesus’ mighty name.
