Introduction

There is an attack on our children today. It’s in the news, in the street, practically everywhere we go, and its our job to protect our kids. Because the attack is so outright and prevalent, it can make us feel as if we are already defeated before we even begin! If you have a child going back to public school or currently in public school, you have a war on your hands. A war that involves outside forces attempting to capture and keep the mind of your child.

You are NOT defeated. The enemy is defeated! The world might make us feel like we are already defeated before we begin, but that’s a lie from satan himself. We have the power and the authority given to us by Christ, to defeat this enemy, and it all starts right here, right now, in our homes. (Luke 10:19)

Before starting a Prayer…

Always be consistent in praying with your family. The more you do, the more they look forward to it, the more you grow as a family.

Our kids may be tired, we may be tired; either way, each prayer will be to the point. Yet leaving room for you to add additional prayers or expound upon the scriptures for days, weeks, or even a month.

Prayers can be done day or night. Whenever your family comes together!

Start off small, and then go as the Lord leads you. Don’t always expect things to be perfect. Add effort and allow God to do the rest.

You got this!

Ideally:

Turn off any electronics and distractions as much as possible at least 20-30 minutes before sitting down together.

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Prayer:

Lord, as we gather here in prayer, help us to remember that we love each other. Help us to put each other first before ourselves. Let us do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility valuing each other above ourselves, not looking to our own interests but the interests of each other. Help to encourage each other, not talk, or say mean things about each other. Finally, Lord, help us to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger, so we can understand each other, and help one another. Give our children wisdom. Help them to be quick to listen at school today, and slow to anger and to speak. Remind them of who they are in Christ, if anyone tries to tell them who they think they are.

In Jesus name, amen.
