Praying for My School and Church
📖 Bible Verse
“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people.” — 1 Timothy 2:1
🕊️ Story / Reflection
God cares about every part of your life — including your school and your church.
Your school is a place where you learn, grow, and meet friends.
Your church is a place where you learn about God and worship Him with others.
You can pray for:
- Your teachers to have wisdom
- Your classmates to be kind
- Your school to be a safe and happy place
- Your pastors and church leaders to teach well
- Your church to be full of love and joy
When you pray for your school and church, you are helping those places become better and filled with God’s presence.
Your prayers matter more than you think!
