As students, teachers, and school staff members begin a new school year, we invite our entire community to lift them up in prayer.
Heavenly Father,
We thank you for the rest and relaxation we enjoyed over the summer. We know you are always with us. We ask you to be with these children in a special way as they begin their new school year.
Bless them with joy at seeing friends, excitement at new experiences, and a love of learning. Watch over all who learn, replacing fear with joy, anxiety with peace, and tiredness with energy.
Bless all teachers and school staff with wisdom, patience, and joy in serving their students. We ask all this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
