Dia de la Patria at Covenant Church, Managua.

 My prayer for Education in Nicaragua:
   
Heavenly Father,of all knowledge, wisdom and truth, we thank you for sending your only Son, Jesus, the first teacher, to teach us the way to you.

Father God, we pray for all those who are in authority in this nations' education system. We pray that you will bless them with the gift of your Salvation. May those in leadership positions get to hear Your Word Father God, and by hearing your word, may their hearts be transformed so that they will revere you and make decisions according to your will. 

Father God, we lift up to you today all the institutions of learning here in Nicaragua/the universities, school, pre schools, home schools, church schools and daycares, anywhere that learning is taking place.

We acknowledge that there are schools here with plenty, and there are schools here in need. There are children so hungry they cannot even think about learning to read and write. Many children cannot go to school because they are sent out by their parents to work, beg or perform in the streets. They risk their very lives to bring in a few pesos for food or addictions.

  Father, these are your children. You knew the exact place and time of their birth, you know each one of them by name, and it is your desire for them to prosper and succeed.

 Father, like Moses, I am not eloquent of speech, but I speak from my heart and say shake it all up LORD, bring change, in whatever form it must come. Show us how to provide equal opportunites in education. Remove the obstacles that tell us we don't have the resources to make change, if only I had money I would.... if only I had a degree I could.... Father, help us to realize that those who believe in you have the top resource available in The Universe, we have Your Word, which is The Sword of The Spirit, it beats any other weapons out there made by man. Father, we know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Help us to be mature and diligent enough to use The Sword of The Spirit, and pray fervently and without ceasing for the children of Nicaragua.

 

Especially those of us who have been appointed as teachers. May we stop asking you to do what you have comissioned and equipped us to do! United in prayer, we can change the atmosphere and have victory in your name!

LORD, we stand firm in our Faith that you have the perfect plan for the children of this Nation. And we pray that it will not stop in the schools Father God, but transformation through Salvation will be carried into the homes and passed on to build up communities who love you LORD and will advance Your Kingdom of justice, love and peace.

Renew us LORD, refresh us, give all teachers a God perspective so they can see each student as you see them. Give teachers a renewed passion for teaching, give them strength, energy and creativity in methods and lesson plans in order to encourage each child to reach their full potential and become who you created them to be.

 

 May the teachers be be filled with Your love and patience to equip the children with spiritual discernment and moral courage as well as academic excellence so they can make moral decisions based on the Truth of your Word that will impact society.

Father God, we praise you for we are fearfully and wonderfully made. You have created us with a wonderful capacity to learn on many levels/practical, social, cultural, intellectual and spiritual, may we continue to learn throughout our lives until we reach the full knowledge of You.

Ephesians 3v20 Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work in us, to Him be glory in our schools, the church and in Christ Jesus thoughout all generations, for ever and ever, Amen.
