3. Isaiah 54:13: "All your children will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their peace." Pray that your children will have a deep understanding of God's truth and that they will experience His peace in every aspect of their lives.

4. Psalm 91:11: "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways." Pray for angelic protection over your children, asking God to surround them with His heavenly hosts and keep them safe from harm.
