Lord, I thank You for the gift of children. Thank You for entrusting them to us. We are grateful for the academic year that we have had and the progress You have brought them. We appreciate Your provision, protection, and their total wellbeing. Thank You for the good plans You have for their lives this holiday. We trust that You are protecting them and safeguarding them all around. Lord, thank You for blessing them in all things, and we look forward to a great holiday together with our children. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and any tongue that rises up against them You shall condemn in Jesus' name. Thank You for the heritage that belongs to our children, for indeed You will bless their going out and their coming in from today henceforth. In Jesus' name, amen.
