Education

---

Lord, your plans are to prosper me! You plan to give me hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). According to your Word, an intelligent heart acquires knowledge and the ears of the wise seeks knowledge. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to further my education. Holy Spirit you are my teacher, help me to understand and retain knowledge of all subjects; so that learning is made easy for me. Do not allow me to be intimidated from the fear of failing. Help me to be diligent in completing every assignment and studying for every exam. God, your word says that iron sharpens iron; connect me with students whose passion for excelling scholastically is equal to or greater than mine. Heavenly Father, thank you for your wisdom to remain focused and free from all distractions. In Jesus' name, Amen!

God, I surrender my emotions to you. In whatever situation or circumstance, I find myself, I pray to discern between whether I am being led by emotions that are not subject to your will. Your Word says you will not let me be tempted beyond my ability. With every temptation you make a way of escape. Lord, thank you for your strength to walk in the Spirit so that I will not gratify the desires of my flesh (ungodly attitudes, actions or desires). I do not want to be conformed to this world. The desires of fleshly emotions (works of the flesh: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions...) war against your Spirit and want to overrule the desires of the fruit of the Spirit which are; love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. You heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds. By the power of your Blood, I have been set free from un-surrendered and damaged emotions. I pray to be transformed in my emotions by renewing my mind to the Word of God, so that when I am tested, I can discern the will of God; what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Lord direct me concerning employment. I pray to hear your voice clearly about the most suitable job position and the path I must take to obtain it. I pray that the income from my new job will exceed my expectations. 

You can do exceedingly abundantly above all that I ask or think according to the power (faith) that works in me! Holy Spirit thank you for the ability, intelligence, and knowledge to perform my job with the highest level of skill, integrity and excellence that honors God! Anoint me Lord to use the skills and gifts that you have blessed me with for your glory. Whatever my job responsibilities, I will work heartily and diligently as working for you Lord and not for men. I pray to be submitted to my new employer with all respect and honor, even during times of conflict. I also pray for peaceable working relationships and conditions with all my co-workers, employees and staff. I pray to keep you first. With this new job, do not allow me to neglect my relationship with you, my family or my obligations to the church and ministry. In Jesus' name, Amen.

According to 1 Samuel 30:6, David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him... But David felt strengthened and encouraged in the Lord his God. Likewise, when facing times of discouragement, we too must encourage ourselves in the word of God.

~Declaration Against Discouragement:

Thank you God for being my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. You are always before me LORD; because you are on my side. You are my hiding place and my shield. I will not be moved by things that try to discourage my faith in you. I will not be overwhelmed with thoughts of defeat and failure. I will remain strong in my faith and hope in you! Despite the attacks of the enemy, my encouragement in my affliction/problem is that your Word sustains me. You are the source of my strength forever! God, in you, I encourage myself! You are full of mercy and you comfort me in all my troubles. In Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.

Lord, I thank you for the victory you have given me over my enemies! Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me! Despite the ill treatment of my enemies towards me; I will bless and not curse them. I will love and not hate my enemies; I will pray for them. Though my enemies set a net for my steps; even cause my soul to be bowed down, I will keep the faith that you, Lord will avenge me of every one of them! As you bring vengeance upon my enemies; I will not rejoice when my enemies fall and will not let my heart be glad when they stumble. Whenever my enemies dig a pit in my way, they will fall into it themselves. Like David, I will not fret myself because of evildoers; and I will not be envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. I trust in you Lord! You will act for me; you Lord will fight for me! I only have to be silent. In Jesus' name, Amen!

Father, I pray to always have a heart and mind to guard and protect my relationship with you. I pray to remain humble and submitted to your sovereign lordship and will for my life. It's my desire to serve and obey you, always growing in my relationship with you from faith to faith, glory to glory and strength to strength. I pray to never allow anything or anyone to separate me from your love. Help me to always trust you with every part of my life, never leaning to my own understanding, but in all my ways, acknowledging you so that you can direct my life. Thank you, Father, for loving me and for allowing me to be a part of your beloved family. I love you Lord! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 The people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits. I declare and decree that I am excelling in my relationship with the Father! For He is with me, the mighty one who saves and rejoices over me with gladness and quiets me by his love! He never leaves me nor forsakes me. God has raised me up with Christ and seated me with Him in the heavenly realms (of authority) in Christ Jesus. God fills me with the knowledge of his will through all wisdom and understanding of the Holy Spirit, so that I can live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God. I am rooted and built up in him, strengthened in my faith as one is being taught by the Holy Spirit and overflowing with thankfulness. 

Blessed am I because I do not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but I delight in my God’s commandments, meditating on them day and night. Therefore, I am like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. 

In all that I do, I prosper. I am a part of God’s righteous congregation. I am disciplined in God's righteous deeds and will not be condemned along with the world. I delight in my God and He gives me the desires of my heart! He is not slow to fulfill his promises but is patient toward me, not wishing that I should perish. By Jesus Christ, my Heavenly Father has given me a new heart, and placed a new spirit within me. He has removed the heart of stone from my flesh and given me a heart of flesh. I hunger and thirst after God’s righteousness, I shall excel in my relationship with him and I will be thoroughly satisfied! In Jesus’ name. Amen!
