Each month, our Prayer Ministry Team offers a specific prayer focus, working under the belief that communal prayer is a powerful and world-changing exercise.

August Prayer Focus
During August, as a new school year resumes, we will focus on praying for our schools, educators and children. Schools are facing serious challenges, and as believers, we can unite in prayer to overcome these battles. Our prayers can restore peace, safety, and hope in our schools. May our prayers help build a brighter, safer future for every child.

This month, let’s join in praying for the following:

• Wisdom & guidance for teachers and students — James 1:5: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
• Strength & patience for students & teachers — Isaiah 40:31: “but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
• For peace & safety in our schools — Philippians 4:7: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
• For open hearts & minds for students & teachers — Proverbs 2:6: “For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.”
• For unity among staff & administration — Psalm 133:1: “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”
• For protection — Psalm 121:7–8: “The LORD will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
• For calm minds & hearts free from anxiety — 1 Peter 5:7: “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
