12 Ways to Pray for Your Middle Schooler

Do you remember what middle school was like? You were discovering your personality, trying to fit in, dealing with hormones, and taking on some tougher class work. It’s a lot for a kid to handle. That’s why prayer for students in middle school is a mom’s best tool for helping her child through these eventful years. 

When kids reach middle school, they sometimes start to pull away from their parents, so just when friendships and school work get harder, we feel less connected and informed. Right when we want to pull them in and keep them close, they begin to crave independence. It’s scary, even for seasoned moms. As your middle schooler changes and challenges you, you might feel like prayer is your only hope for helping your child with whatever she’s going through. The good news is, prayer for students in middle school is powerful. 

These 12 prayers for students in middle school cover a typical mom’s fears, like peer pressure and interactions with teachers, and hopes, like discovering gifts, and acting with self-control. So pick one to pray each day or run through the list each morning or night. If your child is in the thick of a conflict with a teacher or friend, or he’s just struggling to be himself, there are prayers for that, too.

And remember, just because these school years are called “middle” it doesn’t mean they’re just a transition time. No, these three years are just as important as elementary and high school, so pray that your child is growing into the young man or woman that God wants him or her to be. Pray that the middle school years are the best ones yet.  

Our kids need our attention, they need our understanding, and, boy, do they need our prayers. For more ways to pray for your family, see all of our prayer printables and this list of 10 ways to pray for your child.
