The last Friday of this month, March 28, will mark the Ninth Annual Statewide Day of Prayer Over Students. At the request of First Priority, Governor Bob Riley proclaimed the First Statewide Day of Prayer Over Students in 2006. Since then, thousands of adults have been involved in both private and public prayer opportunities in spiritual support of students in Alabama. First Priority will once again be joined by Moms in Prayer to coordinate this prayer emphasis encouraged by the recent proclamation of our current governor, Dr. Robert Bentley.

Praying for the students in our area is not just a privilege...it's a necessity. Students live in a tough world! Each day, students are subjected to literally thousands of offensive images and words. They also face an enormous amount of peer pressure to become part of what is considered normal by the world's standards. Without prayer, these students will not be able to stand against the insurmountable odds they will face from childhood until they leave this world. Will you join us in praying for our students?

We would like to invite you to get involved!

• Become a Prayer Zone Partner and encourage others in your church and community to do the same. Every time you pass a school, pray over the school and turn the School Zone into a Prayer Zone. We have static-cling prayer zone stickers available for purchase. These will remind you to make a school zone a prayer zone. 

• Plan a 24-hour prayer vigil at your church.

• Plan a "Prayer Walk" around your local schools. You must receive permission from the school principal to do this.

• Join a Moms in Prayer Group and impact our students and schools for Christ. For more information about Moms in Prayer, e-mail Susan Shepherd at [email protected].
