Day 1 Devotion

Scripture: “For GOD so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16-18

Prayer: Father, today we come before You bearing the burden of the sins of our loved ones. We pray that they may come to know You and how great You are. In Your mercy, we ask that You deliver them from the hands of Satan, who has blinded them from seeing the light of Your Good News. Open their eyes to see Your goodness. Open their minds to understand the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Create in them new hearts that will love You and desire Your will. Reveal to them the depth of Your love and unending mercies. Forgive them of their sins and lead them into repentance so that they will be saved. We pray all this in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Decree: We decree that our loved ones and many who are in a school setting will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

• What does it mean to be saved?

• Who do you know that is part of a school setting and who needs to be saved?
