Day 9: Obedience

Scripture:

“But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love Him. That is how we know we are living in Him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.” 1 John 2:5

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, strengthen and lead the school communities and us into the place You have called us to. Help us put aside doubt and do things our own way. We know that it is only through obedience to You that we can please You and have peace in our heart. Help us work confidently in Your strength as we tackle challenges in our schools. Help us trust and obey You in all that we do. We ask all these things in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Decree:

Today we decree that everyone in schools, including ourselves will obey God’s Word and trust Him with all of our hearts and not lean on our own understanding.
