Schools are great places of learning, building friendships, and sharing the gospel, as those on school campuses allow their lights to shine and to be Christian witnesses. Find a prayer partner and pray for the following prayer points.

Lord, help me to start the school year right. Help me always have a great attitude.

Lord, I want you to be right beside me at school this year, like you're my best friend. If you are really walking beside me, maybe I'd be more concerned about pleasing you than pleasing others. If you are there beside me, maybe I'd realize I could talk to you anytime I wanted, and lean on you when I'm feeling sad or inadequate. Help me know you really will be right beside me each day at school.

It is essential that we pray for all school students!

• Pray that all students would have a blessed school year.
• Pray for strength and courage for students to face every challenge.
• Pray for the gift of knowledge and joy to be in abundance for students.
• Pray for peace and comfort to be companions for each student.
