Happy first day of school for many of you! We hope you all have a great day & year!
We love this prayer for a new school year. May it be a blessing to you and your kiddos. 💚
“O God of new beginnings,
As this child begins this new school year,
We are reminded that they are Yours
And Yours alone.
We have filled their backpack,
And we ask You to fill their heart
With the joy of new friends
And their mind
With the wonder of learning new things.
You are the God of science
And the God of art,
The God of equations
And the God of song.
Give them courage
To extend kindness to teachers,
Fellow students,
And even themselves.
May they stand tall in who they are,
And may they find friends to sit with.
Give them a heart to see the hurting
And strength to show love in the hallways.
Give them friends,
But help them not to find their worth in others.
Give them concentration
And a holy kind of mischief
That keeps them asking why.
May this child feel Your love
As they walk the halls,
And may You keep them safe
And bring them safely home.
May they rise to the challenges set in front of them,
And may they never be too busy
To bend down and help someone.”
