Are you ready for “Day of Prayer Over Students Across Alabama?” There are numerous ways you can get involved.
Governor Dr. Robert Bentley has proclaimed NEXT Friday, March 30, “Day of Prayer Over Students Across Alabama.” At the request of First Priority of Alabama, Governor Bob Riley proclaimed the first statewide Day of Prayer Over Students in 2006. First Priority will once again be coordinating this prayer emphasis encouraged by the recent proclamation of Gov. Dr. Robert Bentley.
First Priority coordinates hundreds of local school Christian campus clubs. First Priority is encouraging Alabamians to pray for students as they are faced with challenges such as peer pressure to abuse drugs and alcohol, negative influences in the media, school violence and gang activities, fear and low self-esteem. Day of Prayer is not an event; it’s simply 24 hours of continuous prayer over students, teachers and school administrators across our state. There are numerous ways you can get involved and demonstrate prayerful observance of this important day:
- Turn school zones into prayer zones by praying over schools every time you pass by them.
- Churches are hosting prayer chains with members praying continuously during school hours and some during prayer vigils.
- Contact the principals of local schools to let them know their schools are being lifted in prayer. Also, ask for a list of faculty members so you can pray for each member by name.
