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.

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.

Give us the desire to pray, to seek Your face, and be before You.

“Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.” Luke 2:52

Lord, we desire that wisdom.
Help us be wise in everything we do today. Help my children to be wise in who they hang around at school, and in their studies.
Lord, Your word teaches that the one who gets wisdom, loves life.
So, we lean not on our own understanding, but we desire to acknowledge You, Lord.
Father, direct our paths and make our crooked places straight, and keep us from evil.
In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven…But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed.

Matthew 18:18, Isaiah 54:17
Prayer:
In the Name of Jesus Christ, as it relates to me and my family, I bind all satan’s evil spirits, occult spirits, spirits of trauma, familiar spirits, demonic forces, satanic powers, principalities, any clusters of demons and satanic thrones, in the mighty Name of Jesus!
I bind all evil kingdoms and princes of terrors. I bind all demonic assignments and functions of destruction from any demonic entities, I bind all interplay, interaction, communication and all their games between satanic and demonic spirits, out of, and away from our minds, bodies, and souls. Away from my children, my home, and my neighborhood!
And in the Name of Jesus Christ, I sever all demonic spirits from any demonic ruler above these demonic spirits. I revoke any orders given to any of these demonic spirits and demonic forces concerning me in my family.
I bind all demonic entities and all generational curses under the one in highest authority Jesus Christ and the blood of Jesus.
I lose you, evil spirits, from us now, I lose you to where Jesus Christ sends you.
Your assignments and influences in our lives, are broken now! In the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen!
