Dear Heavenly Father,
We claim all of the above scriptures and others from your Word for Covenant Classical Christian School. We believe that this school is a precious gift which You have given to us so that we may live and work and play together in fellowship as followers of your son, Jesus Christ. You have called us to be stewards of this gift and to give our hearts, minds, time, talents, and resources to support this school in any way that we can whether we be teachers, administrators, students, board members, parents, grandparents, or members of Covenant Presbyterian Church. Help us be faithful to You in this, O Lord.
We believe you have a bright and prosperous future designed for us which You gave us a glimpse of during our Vision Planning Workshop in January 2011. We are trusting You for this future Lord and we envision a day when our campus is flourishing with more students in each grade and the ability to provide more opportunities and resources for students and teachers alike. We envision a beautiful, clean, and safe campus with new equipment and technology. Dear Lord, we ask You to make this vision a reality.
We don’t mean to seem ungrateful for all the blessings you have already bestowed. We are so thankful for the peace and camaraderie that we experience at Covenant, for the spiritual and academic growth we see in our students each and every year, and for all the many other ways you pour out your grace and love on us daily.
But Lord, You know our need for a new and refreshed energy and for new families to help support our school. You know our desire to provide new curriculum and technology to advance the education we are able to provide. You know the condition of our facilities and the need to restore and renovate them to make them new again. You are the Creator of the universe and even now we know that You are creating new things at this very moment. We pray that you will bless us with new life for our school too.
Father, help us to do all things in a manner pleasing to you and for your glory and to wait patiently for the answers to our prayers.
We ask all this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
