When our children are in someone else’s care, it can be a gift, but it can also be worrisome. How will my child behave? Will he get along well with others? What if he gets hurt? Even if we know with near-certainty, that he will be fine, we still want our children to receive favor from teachers, do well answering questions in the classroom, and be liked by other kids. We want our children to have good experiences at school so they will like it and want to go back the next day. We know school is not just about learning academics but also about learning how to socialize and get along with others. This is where the 10 Ways to Pray for Your Child come in.
When our children aren’t in our care, we want them to learn the same things we teach at home: right from wrong and how to treat others with respect. We want them to learn tough math concepts and tricky spellings too. Why not keep a copy of the 10 Ways to Pray for Your Child on the fridge? Or folded in your pocket or a book? Our children could use our prayers throughout the day. Having that reminder in the kitchen, on your desk at work, or tucked inside your purse might help. Each time your eyes fall on the words or your fingers touch the page, you can offer a prayer for your child and give any concerns or worries you might have to God. I know that when I’m worried about my children, prayer helps.
The 10 Ways to Pray for Your Child at School is helpful for my kids and for me. As I go through the day, I pray that my children will stay safe, learn lots, and have fun. As I do so, the worries I have begin to lift.
Instead of worrying, try praying. Print out these 10 Ways to Pray for Your Child at School.
