Day 5: A Prayer of Protection for Your Daily School Commute

God's Promises:

"The LORD will keep you from all harm; he will watch over your life." Psalm 121:7

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust!'" Psalm 91:1-2

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you today, grateful for your constant presence and unfailing love. Thank you for being our refuge and our strength in times of trouble. We now lift up our children and ourselves as we pray for protection during our daily school commutes.

Lord, we cover our children, including [insert Child's Name], with the precious blood of Jesus. We build a hedge of divine protection around them as they travel to and from school each day throughout the school year. We declare that no evil shall come near them, for you are their shield and their defender.

We proclaim that [insert Child's Name] finds refuge in you, the Most High God. They dwell in your secret place and constantly abide under your shadow. May your presence surround them and provide a shield of safety on their journey.

Father, we declare that our children will not be harmed or involved in any accidents. Their blood will not be shed, and they will not be exposed to danger. We also pray for ourselves as we take the kids to school, asking for your protection over us as well.

We boldly declare that our children will not be kidnapped or go missing. They will walk in safety and will not be led into any harmful situations. We entrust them into your loving care, knowing that you watch over their lives.

Thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the assurance that you are faithful to protect us. We receive your answers with hearts full of gratitude and thanksgiving.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
