Scripture:
āThe Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.ā
ā Deuteronomy 31:8
š¬Prayer Focus:
Father,
Today, I lift up children who are schooling away from homeāwhether at boarding school, university, or in another city or country. Be their comfort, their guide, and their covering. When we are not there, You are. Keep them grounded in faith, surrounded by godly friendships, and protected from harm. Let their hearts remain connected to home, and give them strength, resilience, and peace. Let their environments be conducive to growth and learning, and may they never feel alone. In Jesusā name, amen.
šDaily Declaration for Moms:
I declare that even when my child is far away, God is closer still. His presence surrounds them, His wisdom guides them, and His love anchors them. They are never alone.
šÆMomās Challenge of the Day:

Reach out to a child who is schooling away from homeāwhether your own or someone you knowāand send them a word of encouragement or a prayer.
