Father God, how we love Your Word! You have told us that the knowledge of You is understanding and the fear of You is the beginning of wisdom. You have put a hunger to know more of You and Your ways in your children.

We groan inwardly as we see the removal of Your principles little by little from our public schools. We are gathered here today to ask of You and demand of the enemy in Jesus' name. Give us schools that encourage and honor truth. By Your Spirit, let there be a cleansing of our education system.

We pray for Betsy DeVos as she takes over leadership of the Department of Education. I don't know if she has met Jesus as Lord. If this has not happened, Sir, send her Your Word and enlighten the eyes of her understanding. I do know, however, that You put an anointing of wisdom and understanding on leaders, so we ask for that on her behalf. Help her unravel the tangled web of lies, selfish ambitions, greed and jealousy that have kept knowledge from flowing freely through our system of education. Give her the favor that she needs in order to accomplish the vision and goals You surely will give her. We pray for all the people of skill and understanding she needs in order to achieve Your goals. May they surround and support her in all to which she is setting her hand.

We come against powers and principalities that have been attempting to steal our children in schools and colleges and tell you that your assignment is broken in the name of Jesus Christ!

Thank You, Mighty God, for appointing her for our service. With You, all things are possible. We believe and receive. Amen.

AMEN! We thank you Lord for your move to quell the recount chaos in Michigan. Please do the same in Pennsylvania tomorrow...grant Judge Diamond the discernment and clarity to quash Dr. Stein’s efforts at sowing discord.

We also pray for Donald Trump and Mike Pence to place in positions of authority Godly leaders and those who will support your principles in the federal government and especially within the federal court system.

Holy Spirit, call the Lord’s children to prayer and appropriate action as President Trump and Vice President Pence work to Make America Great Again. We know that the only way America can be fully great again is to return to your precepts.

Thank you for this Providential opportunity to move the Nation back in the right direction.

Yes, Father,

Let every American child (and their parents as they help with homework) learn the history of Christian thought in changing societies from “nasty, brutish and evil” to communities with hope, compassion and dignity.

Let the true history of Christians coming to this land for a better life, and freedom from discrimination by the elites in European capitals, be told in every school.

Let the history of Christian influence in ending indenture, slavery and racial discrimination be clearly demonstrated in classrooms across the nation. End, we pray, the false equalization of race to things that are actually choices, ideologies or inclinations.

Let the Christian values of kindness to strangers and tolerance of differences be shown in the history of immigration to this nation; and further, may the difference between immigration to embrace/assimilate and immigration to infiltrate/conquer/oppress the hosts be explained clearly and affirmatively to our pupils and students.

May the history of charities and social organizations through Christian networks be taught and appreciated by schoolchildren.

May the historic presence of Christian thought and ethics in warfare and in support of our military be shown in every history class; that the U.S. has most often fought for freedom, not empire. Forgive us, Lord, for the misadventures of the past decades in the Middle East, the failures of foreign policy there and elsewhere in the world, and may lour nation’s teachers address these topics with compassion instead of calls to revolution.

May schools again search for and employ teachers with love for their subject matter and understanding of childhood and adolescence, fair play and affirmative discipline.

Break the stranglehold of unions, university “education” cartels and “special interest” infiltration of our schools by homosexual activists, satanists and revolutionaries, Father, so that true education of character and interest may take place, and creativity will be made safe when flourishing within the greater love of “Nature and Nature’s God.”

May our economy flourish to permit families once again to support a married mother and father in the home to educate their biological children. May our economy flourish to support steadfast, faithful marriage before children are conceived, so that the focus of true education is home training, devotions and religious instruction for people of all ages. May home schooling flourish alongside private, public and religious schools, without government oppression.

And may the true failures and dehumanizing essence of marxism, islamism and all forms of totalitarianism be permitted expression in every university, Lord God we pray, overturning a century of anti-Chrisitian indoctrination; for Jesus taught us that we come unto Him of our own free will, and not by compulsion or bloodshed.

In Jesus’ Name we pray,

Amen!

Amen to your beautiful prayer.

You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up.
Deuteronomy 11:19

The healing of our Nation is dependent upon teaching our children. At home and church and school.

Lord, we pray our new leaders will create an atmosphere that will allow the freedom to teach your Word publicly once again. Remove all impediments to spreading the Good News.

We pray many will be saved during this window of opportunity. Let us redeem the time, recognizing you have given us this victory so Your will might be done and not just for our own personal prosperity. The fields are white with harvest. Help us to work while we can.

Amen!!!!

Father God, how far we have fallen since prayer has been removed from schools. Forgive us.
May the spirit of this nation change, that Christians will be a welcome voice in the schools and other institutions - and may the current method of “education” fall apart. Father God, we ask that the schools from kindergarten to university level cease to be indoctrination camps, or tools for the devil, but that the young people learn wisdom, respect, and receive a wholesome education that would prepare them to be upstanding adults.

Father God, we ask that You would speak to the hearts of those involved in education, teachers, board members, and that they would doubt the current methods, but seek Your truth and wisdom. We lift up Betsy DeVos and ask that she lead according to Your Will. Father God, revitalize this nation, from every angle and dimension. May we all seek to declare You Lord and Master.

in Jesus name we do pray
