Today, millions of Christians are gathering around the flagpoles at our schools, lifting up our students in prayer. Join them wherever you are by interceding on behalf of boys and girls you may never meet. What a privilege to pray for others! What can we pray about? What do children struggle with? Here are a few suggestions to help get you started:

Godly Wisdom
Appropriate internet use
Movie, television, and music choices
Fleeing dangerous situations

Healthy Relationships
Listening and obeying God’s voice (Deuteronomy 27:10)
Standing against harmful peer pressure

Obeying their parents (Ephesians 6:1)
Respecting those in authority (Titus 3:1-2)

God’s Protection
Spiritual, emotional, and physical protection (John 17:15, Ephesians 6:7-10)
Using God’s Word as a light for their path (Psalm 119:105)
