Don’t know what to pray for? We have some tips that can help steer your prayers below…
Thanks
Thank God in advance for what He is going to do this year and what He has already done so far. Thank Him for the great moments in your life as well as the learning moments. Thank Him for Who He is.
ASk for His Will
You have your plans, but God has his! Ask for His perfect will to be done and for strength to give up yours for His. God’s plan is for us to prosper and to have a future (Jeremiah 29:11)!
Forgiveness
A.C.T.S Method
As you transition into a new school year or season you want to go into it fresh, so ask God to forgive you for your past sins and mistakes. Start with a clean heart.
Organize your prayer by beginning with Adoration and praise to God, then transition to Confession, next Thanksgiving, and lastly Supplication and making your requests known to Him.
Jesus outlines this prayer template to His disciples in Matthew 6:
Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be Your name,
Your Kingdom come,
Your Will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins,
For as also forgive everyone
who is indebted to us
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one
For Yours is the Kingdom and the power
and the glory forever, Amen.
Matthew 6:8-14
