Praying For Our Students Kindergarten Through College
Day 17 of 21

Father, we are grateful for every improvement in the well-being of our children over the past five years, and we thank you for what You are doing in the families of our city and state.

We bring before You every family struggling and in pain, whether from divorce, poverty, unemployment, drug or alcohol abuse, or domestic violence. Please bring healing, comfort, and provision for these broken homes. We also pray for a dramatic transformation of the economy in our state and in our cities, especially neighborhoods with upward mobility challenges.

We lift to You students who are homeless in our schools and are staying at shelters, on the street, or living in cars. Your Father’s heart is for the destitute and vulnerable, and we ask that You would help these students and their families in powerful ways only You can.

According to Your Word in Malachi 4:6 we cry out for the hearts of the fathers to be turned to their children and the hearts of the children to be turned to their fathers! We pray for those parents who simply lack the motivation, sense of responsibility, or parenting skills to raise their children well. Break off apathy and helplessness and show them where they can find help. Please bring good parenting role models into the lives of young parents or teen moms who may not have had them while growing up.

Raise effective spiritual fathers and mothers, we pray! Please turn the tide of young people leaving the Church, as six out of ten who grew up as Christians walk away from their faith in their twenties. Bring another Great Awakening to the youth and families. We pray, in Jesus’ name! Amen.
