Back to School Prayers for Students: Share These With Parents

back to school prayers

Need some back to school prayers to share with parents in your church? Here are two prayers for students that I share with the parents in our children’s ministry.

One is a prayer that parents can pray with their child. The other is a prayer that parents can pray for their child. Feel free to use and share these back to school prayers!

Praying parents make the difference in a child’s life. And back to school prayers are ideal for showing love and asking God’s blessings on our kids.

A Back to School Prayer to Say With Your Child 

Dear God, Thank you for ____________. As he/she begins this school year,

help him/her use the talents and gifts you’ve given him/her to do his/her very best.

May he/she listen to his/her teachers with respect.

Help him/her be honest if he/she is ever tempted to cheat.

Help him/her always tell the truth, be kind to everyone at school,

and treat others as he/she would like to be treated.

Help him/her make good friends and be a good friend to others.

And help him/her remember that You’re always with him/her
