Praying for Courage Amid School Safety Concerns
As a father, I often find myself paralyzed by fear for my daughter's safety in school. The news is filled with tragic stories that haunt me, and each morning I face a mix of worry and dread as I send her off. I feel guilty for my fears because I want her to feel secure and empowered. I ask for prayer that God will provide me with the courage to face these concerns and to teach my daughter about faith and trust. Help me to raise her in confidence despite the anxiety that creeps into my heart. I pray for God's protection over her and for wisdom to guide her in navigating the world safely.

Dear Michael, your concerns as a father are heartfelt and understandable. God knows your fears and is with you in this journey. Remember, He has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). It's commendable that you want to instill confidence in your daughter. Trust in the safety that God promises us—He is our shelter and refuge. Psalm 91:1 assures us that those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I encourage you to pray with your daughter, cultivating faith and strength together. May God grant you both the peace and assurance you seek. Let us pray: Lord, give Michael strength and peace as he navigates his fears for his daughter’s safety. Amen.
