Teach them to cast all their anxiety upon You, trusting and genuinely knowing that You care for them. Strengthen their heart and spirit to resist the devil, so that he/she will flee from them. Bless them with Your Spirit of discernment to know and do what is right at all times. Guard their minds from bad counsel and peer pressure. Help them to trust You as their refuge and fortress.
Let Your peace and understanding envelope them at all times. Enable our children to continue growing in wisdom and stature all the days of their lives. Let this school year be their best year ever with excellent grades, favor with teachers and classmates and good behavior all covered by Your protection. Grant him/her/them Your peace in their hearts and minds in great measure. I pray he/she/they will develop a spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving as they look to You daily for their needs. I pray he/she/they will not only enjoy the peace of God, but peace with God. I pray he/she/they will not worry about things they cannot control, but that You will guard his/her/their hearts and minds and keep him/her/them trusting in You. Today I come to you in prayer Lord, asking you to help my child(ren) experience peace this year.
