We are lifted up in joining you in prayer for your little ones to pass their tests with flying colors in Jesus' name. How wonderful it is to see your heart's desire for them to succeed! We stand with you in praying for their academic achievements and their character development. "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15 WEB. We pray for them to respect and obey their teachers, as it is written, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise" Ephesians 6:1-2 WEB.
As parents we are also reminded, "You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4 WEB. We pray for your children to treat others with love, respect, caring, forgiveness, friendship, and gentleness. "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:32 WEB. Remind them, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool blurts out folly." Proverbs 15:1-2 WEB.
As parents we are reminded, "But you, fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and nurture of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4 WEB. Bless your family and "Bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4 WEB.
Let us pray together.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this beloved family. We pray for these children, that You would grant them understanding, knowledge, and wisdom in their studies. Help them to pass their tests with flying colors, and give them a spirit of excellence in all they do.
Lord, we pray for their character, that they would be filled with love, respect, caring, forgiveness, friendship, and gentleness towards others. Help them to honor and obey their teachers and all those in authority over them. Let them be examples to their peers, shining as lights in this world.
We pray for their family, that You would bless their home with peace, love, and unity. Guide the parents with Your wisdom, and help them to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
In Jesus' name, we pray for protection over their hearts and minds, that they would not be swayed by the frustrations and anger of this world. Instead, fill them with Your Holy Spirit, producing the fruit of the Spirit in their lives we ask in Jesus name and for His sake alone.
Amen.
