Tips to Using the Back to School Daily Prayer Planner
Start your school year strong using these prayer prompts. Each week follows the same pattern of a topic to pray about each day, and you’ll have new prompts for those topics each week.
- There is no “right” approach on how to pray together. Find a way that works best for your family, whether going around in a circle so each person can pray on the topic, having quiet time to pray on your own, letting one person lead for the day, etc.
- Use the character development prayers as a way to open up conversations. They are great conversation starters to discuss more about what those traits mean.
- Find a specific time that you will do the prayer at, like praying on the drive back from school. Consistent repetition will make all the difference.
- Add your own ideas or verses to keep going from the different categories.
- Stack these prayers with other habits, like add it in with devotion times or at family meals.
