August Prayer

It’s Time to Head Back to School

Happy August! For some of us, the idea of summer winding down and kids going back to school is exciting. For others of us, it’s a reminder that time moves so quickly, and the year is already more than half over.

No matter how you look at the start of August, the fact is, August brings a shift or change to many of our lives.

How can I pray for you in August?

At the end of this post I will have a prayer, but if you have something specific you’d like prayer for, please email me at katie@katiefrankey.com and tell me what I can be praying for you. It would honestly be an honor if you would tell me how I can pray for you.

My Prayer Requests

If you are willing to pray for me, could you pray for the following things?

Our oldest starts kindergarten in a couple of weeks. Could you pray for her to pick up on reading and writing and a love for school? Pray she makes friends but doesn’t have to pretend to be someone she isn’t. She is so smart and loves to learn, pray that it stays that way.

I start back to teaching later this week. Could you pray that I am the light for my coworkers and the students in my classroom and that God places the kids who need a light into the seats in my room? Pray that I am able to balance writing/blogging with my teaching job, as well as being a mom and wife, and find time to exercise and eat healthy?

When I feel overwhelmed or stressed, I am easily angered. Could you pray that as August brings all the new and different situations that cause frustration, that I take control of my stress and chose not to give it power over me?

Thank you for praying for me.

Prayer for August

Lord Jesus, thank you for the summer you gave us. Thank you for helping us get through it. Lord, help me have grace for myself even though my house is way messier now than it was in April. Help me get myself back into the swing of a routine as the school year begins and my schedule changes. Help me show your love to others, even when I am feeling like a ball of stress on the inside. Lord, with you anything is possible, so help me have the capacity to be the best version of myself so that your light shines through me. Lord, for all the unspoken prayers on my reader’s heart, I pray you hear them and wrap your arms of comfort around them as you work out all the things for your glory. Thank you for loving us. It is in Jesus’ Precious Name, Amen.
