Day 11: Joy

Scripture:

“Shout for Joy to the Lord, all the earth.” Psalm 100:1

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for your enduring love, goodness and faithfulness. You have told us joy comes in the morning and we believe it. We bind the spirit of heaviness over our students, parents and everyone that works in the educational system. We release in them the garment of praise and the oil of joy to be able to worship You, “the great I AM”. As we release Your joy into the atmosphere of schools, we believe all will live out the destiny and purpose You have for them. Lord, let the schools’ setting be a haven of joy, gladness, hope, and peace for everyone as they work together as unto You with excellence. We pray all this in the Name of Jesus Amen.

Decree:

Today we decree that You, Lord, have put gladness in all of our hearts.
