Overview

This book is intended to be a guide that promotes prayer for our public schools. The author discusses why prayer is important and then provides daily prayers that can be used by anyone committed to praying for their public school. The prayers in this book place an emphasis on the powerful practice of praying scripture. The book also includes areas that allow the reader to write in their own prayers. After all, prayer should be intensely personal. It is a person's chance to talk with God. This book will be the most powerful when readers become engaged in prayer on a daily basis. Being fully engaged involves listening to what God speaks to your heart during prayer times. Writing out prayers provides an opportunity to express what God is speaking to you in your own words. Our public schools nationwide provide plenty of examples to fuel our worry. We see the headlines of school shootings, teachers who violate students, negative peer pressure, drugs and other influences in the school, and it concerns us. This is especially the case when we kiss our children goodbye and send them in to a public school without us by their side. Join other readers of this book in asking God daily to be with our children and to guide their decision making, to protect their classmates, give their teachers the strength and wisdom needed to teach, and to guide the administration of our public school. Will you make a daily commitment to pray for our public schools? I am fully convinced that God hears our prayers and that this book can help establish a habit of praying for your local public school. Better yet, purchase a copy of the book and share it with your child's teacher or principal and let them know you are praying for them this year.
