Lord, I pray Your emotional, physical, and spiritual protection over every child who is getting ready to head back to school. Keep evil far from them, and help them to trust You as their refuge and strength. I pray You will guard their minds from harmful instruction, and grant them discernment to recognize truth. I pray You will make them strong and courageous in the presence of danger, recognizing that You have overcome and will set right all injustice and wrong one day. Help them to find rest in Your shadow, as they live in the spiritual shelter You provide for them. Let them know that the only safe place is in Jesus, and that their home on earth is only temporary.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is Faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
