- Pray for schools, colleges, and universities as classes begin.

Pray, as a new school year begins, for protection over the minds of our children. Pray for

righteous teachers and curriculum. Pray for an end to teachings that attempt to steal the

innocence and the identity of our children. Stop those sent by Satan to rob, kill, and

destroy our youth. Pray for the Holy Spirit to blow through our schools and fill our

children with life.

Proverbs 22:6 – “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he

will not turn from it.”

Isaiah 49:25 – “Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved

from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children

I will save.”

Joel 2:25 – “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten, the great locust

and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm, my great army that

I sent among you.”

- Pray for restoration and safety from Hurricane Ernesto.

Pray for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands as they recover from winds, heavy rains,

and flooding from Hurricane Ernesto this past week. Also pray for the safety of beach

goers over the next few days along the United States eastern coast as the storm may

cause life-threatening surf action and strong rip currents.

Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble.”

- Pray against the outbreak of Mpox.

The World Health Organization warned the world last week of a “global public health

emergency” due to Mpox, formally known as monkeypox. An outbreak in the Democratic

Republic of Congo, which has killed hundreds, has spread into nearby nations. This

disease usually just causes flu-like symptoms, but can be fatal, as seen in DRC. Africa is

concerned with the spread of this disease. Pray that a treatment plan can be discovered

and pray for healing of infected people. Pray for the spread of this disease to stop and

give people wisdom on good hygiene practices.

Matthew 4:23 – “Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,

preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and

sickness among the people.”

- Pray for churches to remain open.

As churches begin to recover from Covid closures, some churches in the western United

States face closures due to high insurance costs. As building costs rise and with

extreme weather conditions causing damage, insurance premiums are skyrocketing.

Pray for church doors to remain open, for repair and insurance costs to be met, and for

people to turn out to worship, support, and appreciate their church homes.

Hebrews 10:25 – “Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do,

but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming

back again is drawing near.”

Psalm 84:4 – “How happy are those who can live in your Temple, singing your

praises.”

Philippians 4:19 – “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his

riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

- Continue to pray for Israel.

Pray for Israel as they anticipate more attacks. Pray that Israel will be prepared but not

live in fear. Pray for all those living in Israel that do not know the Lord will come to

salvation through Jesus. Pray for peace.

Psalm 132:13-18 – “For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his

dwelling; This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I

have desired it. I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy

with food. I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will ever sing for

joy. Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed

one. I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on his head will be

resplendent.”

Psalm 133:1 – “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!”

              Continue to pray peace over Israel and Ukraine and all countries in turmoil.
