The ABCs of Praying For Students
This is the most important tool not on your school supply list. Learning today requires more than ever academically, socially, and emotionally. Students need the informed, insightful prayers of caring adults who support kids of all ages in their learning journey. That includes parents, teachers, grandparents, mentors, foster parents, and friends.
In The ABCs of Praying for Students, a devotion for each letter of the alphabet focuses on a single Bible passage, with a clear illustration of how it connects to what a student needs to know & grow. Practical applications follow, along with ideas for Table Talk starters to use with your learners. “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” (James 5:16b)
Read More DescriptionThe ABCs of Praying for Students will help you engage what your child’s education needs most—the great power of your prayers at work.
In each devotional, you’ll find five elements:
- A letter of the alphabet connected to a character objective
- Scripture to help us learn what God says
- Practical insights applying truth to life and learning
- A few tips to help you take an action step of response
- Table Talk ideas for conversation with your student
The ABCs of Praying for Students is written by Julie Sanders, a mom, educator, and leader with over twenty-five years of professional experience in education. She loves helping others know how to pray for students in what matters most for learning and for life. This devotional will motivate, inform, and fill your prayers as you shape the path for the learners you love.
