January 2020: Education Prayer Priorities for America
We need to mobilize thousands of churches and ministries,
comprised of millions of people who will pray for America this
month. Our nation needs prayer beyond what it has ever needed
before.
Here at Cornerstone, as we prepare for National Day of Prayer in
May 2020, we will be emphasizing one of the seven areas of
influence each month leading up to the National Day of Prayer. The
areas are: Government, Military, Family, Education, Business, Media
and Church. We will also be praying for our Pastoral Search.
For the month of January, the emphasis is Education.
The Education is under attack ranging from shutting out
Christian values, gender identification, revising history, physical
and emotional safety and more.
Prayer for Your Local School
“The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: 2 for
gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight;
3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is
right and just and fair; 4 for giving prudence to those who are
simple, knowledge and discretion to the young—5 let the wise listen
and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guid-ance— 6
for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of
the wise. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but
fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:1-7 1. Thank God
for learning. Thank God that he has provided everything we need
“for gaining wis-
dom and instruction; for understanding words of insight” in his
word (v 1-2). While human minds enjoy unravelling the puzzle of how
the world around us works, God has not left us guessing on the
question of why—he’s told us clearly through Scripture. That’s a
big reason for thanksgiving!
2. Get future-proofed. Pray that students would learn “prudent
behavior” (v 3). Thank God for the way he uses education as an
instrument of his common grace in restraining the effects of sin on
society. Pray that this school would teach children “prudent
behavior”, and equip them to make choices that do good, not harm,
to others as they grow up.
3. Love fairness. Pray that students would learn to do “what is
right and just and fair” in God’s eyes (v 3). Sometimes it seems
that our culture’s definition of right and wrong is drifting
further and further from the Bible’s definition. But pray that
children in this school would be taught that what God thinks is
right is indeed right; that what God says is just is indeed just;
and that what God says is fair is indeed fair.
4. Learn discretion. Ask God to teach “discretion to the young”
(v 4). Kids can be very cruel with their words. So, pray that these
children would learn to control their tongues and speak words that
are kind and patient, not offensive or mean.
5. Fear God. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
knowledge” (v 7). Pray that students and teachers would come to
fear God—and realize that this is far more important than all the
knowledge the world offers. Pray for Christian teachers you know,
and anyone else who has an opportunity to witness to the gospel—ask
that they too would fear God, not humans, and so speak faithfully
and courageously of Jesus.

We believe in the power of prayer. Therefore, let’s pray for our
country like we do
believe in that power.
Here at Cornerstone we have prayer every Sunday from 9:30 am to
10 am.
Join us.
