Pray FROM victory, not FOR victory. Jesus already finished it. We enforce it by faith.
Proverbs 2:6 NKJV
For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Father, before I ever walked into a classroom, You wrote my story. I do not go to school to become somebody. I go to school to discover the somebody You already made me. Your grace is on my life. Your plans for me were finished before I was born. This school year is one more chapter of me discovering what You already wrote.

You are the source of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, and You give them to me freely. The Holy Spirit is my Helper and my best Teacher. When I read, I understand. When I study, it sticks. When I sit in class, I am focused, I process what I am taught, and I retain it. When it is time for a quiz, an exam, or a big test, I recall everything I need, right when I need it. Like Daniel, I operate in wisdom beyond my years.

I do my work with my whole heart, like I am doing it for You. I turn my assignments in on time, and I do them well. I ask questions when I do not understand, because wisdom belongs to those who ask for it. An excellent spirit is in me, like Daniel, so I do not settle for average in my grades, my effort, or my attitude. Favor surrounds me like a shield. I have favor with my teachers, favor with my classmates, and favor everywhere I go, because the God of favor lives in me and goes before me daily.

I am the light in my school. I do not follow the crowd, but the crowd is better because I am in it. I am kind, I am respectful, and I make the people around me better. The Bible teaches that wisdom and foolishness can be transferred by association. The Bible also teaches that bad company can corrupt good character. So you give me the wisdom to connect with the right people and to stay away from the wrong ones. This year, not only do I grow academically, but I also grow in wisdom socially. I'm around the right people, I hear the right things, and I become the right person.

I am loved, I am protected, and I walk in peace. Your angels go with me everywhere I go. You did not give me a spirit of fear. You gave me power, love, and a sound mind. When I look in the mirror, I love and like who I see. GREATER IS COMING FOR ME! I declare this by faith. In Jesus' name, Amen!
