Bold Prayers for Moms: A Back-to-School Devotionalنموونە

Day 2: Praying Peace Over New Beginnings

Scripture:

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’"
— Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)

📖 Devotional:

New school years come with new everything—teachers, classrooms, friends, schedules, and sometimes, new schools altogether. Even if your child is excited, change can stir up hidden fear and anxiety—for both of you.

You may wonder:
Will they adjust? Will they feel accepted? Will they find their rhythm?

But here’s the anchor we cling to: God goes ahead of them.
He is already in that classroom. He already knows the new schedule. He’s already planted friendships and mentors on their path. And He promises to guide your child step by step.

You don’t have to micromanage every moment. You just have to pray, release, and trust.

When you declare peace over their mind, calm over their emotions, and clarity over their path—you’re not just hoping for a smooth transition. You’re establishing spiritual order.

So today, silence the swirl of “what ifs.”
Your child doesn’t walk into that new beginning alone.
Heaven walks in with them.

🙏🏽 Bold Prayer:

Father, I thank You that You are the God of every new beginning. I declare peace over my child’s heart and mind as they step into unfamiliar spaces. I silence every fear, confusion, and worry, and I call forth boldness, clarity, and confidence.

You go before them and make every crooked place straight.
Your voice guides them. Your hand steadies them.
And Your peace wraps around them like a warm blanket.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

✨ Reflection Question:

What “new” part of this school year do I need to surrender to God today?
