10 Weekly Prayers for CCS

LOVE

Father, may the students and staff at CCS experience Your love through the Christians they know in profound and authentic ways.
By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:35

TRUTH

Lord, release truth in CCS. Help students to rightly discern truth and not believe false teachings.
Buy truth, and do not sell it, get wisdom, instruction, and understanding. Proverbs 23:23

SCHOOL BOARD

I pray blessings on each school board member: Larry Shropshire, Scott Sturtz, Kristin Green, Diana Stephens, LeeAnn Wimer, Chris Apel, T.J. Van Dyke, Barbara Ohsfeldt, Matt Cox, and Mat McIntosh.
Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Romans 13:1

PRINCIPAL

May Mrs. Ohsfeldt recognize the God-given responsibility she has for the best interests of the children who attend CCS. May Mrs. Ohsfeldt walk in wisdom, integrity, grace, and truth.
My son, if you will receive my words and treasure my commandments within you, make your ear attentive to wisdom; Incline your heart to understanding. For if you cry out for insight, and raise your voice for understanding; if you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and discover the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to hose who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice, and He watches over the way of His godly ones. Then you will discern righteousness, justice, and integrity, and every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be delightful to your soul; discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you. Proverbs 2:1-11

STRUGGLING STUDENTS

Lord, I ask you to encourage those children who are struggling with their studies. Strengthen their minds. Help their teachers and parents know how to help them learn. Protect them from feelings of worthlessness and shame.
We urge you, brothers and sisters, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 1 Thessalonians 5:14

VIOLENCE

Lord, stay the hand of violence against the children and staff of CCS. Dismantle any plan to bring harm to them. Expose any weapon brought into the school premises and render it harmless.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them. Psalm 34:7
Save me, God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your power. Psalm 54:1

CHRISTIAN PROGRAMS

Father, I pray for abundant blessings on programs that exalt Christ. Help the leaders who sponsor such programs function according to your Word and in harmony with each other. Bless the students and bring forth new and growing believers.
For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:12

A CHOSEN GENERATION

Father, may Your Kingdom come. From the students at CCS, raise up a generation of people who worship You in spirit and in truth.
But a time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:23-24

AN OPEN DOOR

Lord, continue to use CCS for the Gospel to be shared with students and staff. Allow full advantage to be taken of every opportunity to name the Name of Jesus!
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7
For a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. 1 Corinthians 16:9
