Apr. 21 - Spiritual Awakening in Schools and Educational Systems

Monday - Schools and Educational Systems

Week 3 - Spiritual Awakening 

Desired outcome for today's prayer: To see spiritual awakening (unbelievers responding to Jesus for the first time) occur among students.  A high percentage of Christians have found salvation while they were school-aged, so we pray to see hearts open and responding to Jesus. II Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so they cannot see the light of the Gospel that displays the glory of Christ who is the image of God."

Keep these groups in mind as we pray today: Educational Personnel: students, teachers, district administrators, campus administrators, teacher’s aids, transportation providers, cafeteria workers, nurses, special education instructors, PTA officers, campus security, counseling and testing staff Pre-Schools and Kindergartens: (numerous campuses across city) Elementary: Alderson, Bayless, Bean, Bowie, Boseman, Brown, Casey (FISD), Crestview (FISD), Dupre, Guadalupe, Hardwick, Harwell, Haynes, Hodges, Honey, Idalou, Iles, Jackson, Maedgen, McWhorter, Murfee, New Deal, North Ridge (FISD), Overton, Parkway, Parsons, Ramirez, Rush, Shallowater Elementary and Intermediate, Smith, Stephen R.

Ongoing prayer issues for today:  

• Pray for the students, faculty, staff, and administrators who don’t yet know the Savior.

• Pray for Jesus to overcome the god of this age who has blinded the eyes of the unbelieving, so students, faculty, staff and administrators can see the light of the gospel.

• Pray for increase of effectiveness of evangelistic and outreach efforts of student ministries.

• Pray for staffing and success of organizations like Good News Clubs, backyard Bible clubs and Kingdom Come Ministries whose goal is to introduce children to Jesus.   

• Pray for effective and engaging campus ministries that challenge the secular world view and lead college students to Jesus and a Biblical world view.   

• Pray for more Christian students to speak of their relationship with Jesus so more students will hear the Good News and respond.  

• Pray for an increase of Bible studies and prayer meetings led by students that they would reach the lost.

• Pray for organizations like Fellowship of Christian Athletes, REACE Community, and Young Life who seek to introduce teen-agers to Jesus.

• Pray that awakenings like what happened at Asbury University in 2023 would happen in campuses across the nation and particularly at Texas Tech.
