Kind and loving Father, As schools and colleges around the region prepare to open for the fall, I pray for the administrators, teachers, coaches, paraprofessionals, and parents. Please protect our schools and the hearts and minds of all students, especially those most vulnerable. Move the hearts of your faithful to encourage and be present for young people who are in need of a Jesus-loving, kid-loving adult. In their lives. Amen

So many things are happening in the Missouri educational systems through new legislation, state task forces and committees! This week let's pray for the Missouri School Funding Modernization Task Force. Governor Kehoe has given them the assignment to review and recommend changes to the Missouri school funding formula. This will certainly have a big impact on the way all of our school systems function. While their findings and recommendations are not due until December 2026, they begin meeting in August 13, 2025. Pray for the members of this committee to have wisdom and discernment; to be led of the Lord; and to determine what is best for all school districts - city, rural and charter.

This week as we pray for our educational systems. Let's lift up all of our school boards and administrations as they face so many changes in law and finances due to recent state and federal legislation. Pray that God give each of them wisdom, unity of purpose and vision, and creativity for their specific districts and schools. Pray for them to see their source in all things as God. And pray as well for the people of each community to rise up and become deeply invested in their school system and the education of their children. Ask God to make every church in every community aware of how they can come alongside their schools in assistance.

This week let's lift up the teachers and counselors of the Galena schools. Ask the Lord to give them a time of true refreshing during this summer break - Spirit, soul & body. Ask the Lord to work healing & hope from hard things they encountered in the last school year and to infuse them with new vision, creativity and strength as they prepare for the new school year. Pray for those who know the Lord to receive boldness to testify daily of their faith and for those who do not know Him to be drawn by His Spirit into eternal relationship with the Lord.

Throughout the month of June let's lift up Galena school district. This week specifically the administration, their staff and the support staff of the schools. Though school is not in session, there is still much to be done through the summer. Pray for God's wisdom as the administrators review resumes, conduct interviews and hire new staff & teachers for the 2025-2026 school year. Pray, too, for God to lead them in interpreting & implementing new state laws & regulations. Pray for energy, clear communication & understanding for administrative assistants in working with both administration & parents throughout summer. Pray also for wisdom & insight for support staff, custodians, transportation & food service, as they hire, prepare & plan for the new school year. May God draw all to Himself to meet all their needs, spiritual, emotional & physical.

Heavenly Father, as we celebrate new graduates, we also lift up parents who are now empty-nesters. Grant them wisdom and grace as they navigate the changes in their parenting roles. Increase their faith and trust in You to mold and equip their adult children according to Your plan. Give them comfort in this transition and a renewed sense of purpose. We pray these things in Jesus’ name, amen.

As we close the month of May let's lift up the support staff of Forsyth schools. Pray for the bus drivers, custodians & food service workers as they move into summer. Pray for refreshing from the Lord and for God to draw them to Himself, especially those who do not know Him personally. Pray for God to remind them of those they encountered throughout the school year who need their prayer and to be faithful to lift them up. And ask the Lord to prepare the hearts of those He has called to return next fall to be His ambassadors to the children.

As the school year draws to a close let's pray for the students at Forsyth schools.
Ask the Lord to help them stay focused and finish well. Ask Him to comfort those who find security in school and are anxious about what the summer will look like. Pray for the graduates to find God's plan for them and to pursue it. And pray for the students' families as they transition to summer, to look to the Father for provision, to purposely spend nurturing time together, and to grow in positive ways that have lasting impact.
