Dear Lord,
We lift to you the children of our home. We pray for your protection as they move about their day in a new school year. May each one be an asset to their classroom- an ambassador for you in words and actions. Give each one courage to be a light in this world (Matthew 5:14).
I pray that you will fill my child with respect for their teacher, classmates, and school. May learning be a joy and friendships be rich. Give our children a desire to do well daily, and may they see their efforts rewarded in good grades and reputation.
Help our household to run with a schedule that allows both productivity and decompression. I pray my husband and I are our children’s greatest supporters of their education. Remind us to praise and encourage when needed. Enable us to keep education a high priority in this coming year.
Thank you, Lord, for the gift of school. We know that our children will benefit immensely from tireless work and organization of teachers. We pray for the teachers and leaders of our district, and ask for their protection and safety. May their decisions benefit all, and may their compassion run deep. Amen!
