If one were to do a general search on the internet the importance Scripture gives to protecting our
children, one might find upwards of 100+ bible verses. While this is praying over our schools and
education as a whole – we should always be aware of how our Lord sees children.

Please use this document in conjunction with the Prayer Points for Education. Allow the leadership of the
Holy Spirit (Ruach ha’Kodesh) to guide you in how to use these verses in your prayers. Don’t let the
length or number of verses be a stumbling block. Give yourself permission to scan through and rest on
the one or two that resonates within your spirit. Allow the Lord to open up new Bible verses that may
not be in this document.

There is much to pray for with regards to education. The news reminds us this each and every day. But,
praise the Lord that He is above the fray and is calling His people to greater levels of prayer.
