Education is one of the most important keys to a well-endowed life. Being parents, guardians, teachers and learners, it is normal for such people to want and look for divine intervention when choosing a school. Childhood is another vital period of life when prayers are outstanding for the beginning of the school year or getting a new experience in the form of going to middle school, or starting college.
The Role of Prayer for School Enrollment
Lord’s Prayer is one effective method of making God involved and concerned in every segment of life including learning. Regarding the admission of students to school, prayer has the following significance. First, it assists in making decisions aligned with the scriptural teachings by selecting a school where the student can excel academically, spiritually as well as relationally. Second, prayer gives consolation and comfort in the generally nervous procedures of choosing a school, filling in the application forms, and getting ready for the new academic experience. Last but not least the spiritual aspect of prayer secures the student and shields them from anything that may hinder their education.
