Father in Heaven,
You are glorious! Your love has no end and your wisdom is unchanging. Our days are numbered, but you are eternal. Thank you for giving us life and peace and courage. Guide us as we go about our days and lead us in your everlasting way.
Lord, as we start a new season, we ask that you guide our students, teachers, principals, and staff at our schools. Keep them safe and under your protective wing.
Help those in charge of our schools to create a learning environment for our children that is welcoming, safe, and encouraging. Give the administrators and staff wisdom and knowledge to make difficult decisions and allow them to be examples to those that look up to them.
Share with the teachers your wisdom, patience, love, and gentleness as they teach and give of themselves daily to so many children. Give them energy to face the days, kindness for the broken hearted, and rest to restore their souls.
We pray that our children will grow in wisdom, stature, and in your favor. Show them their gifts, so they can share their talents with others. And let their lights shine in joy and kindness to their peers. We hope that old friendships will be revived and new friendships are nurtured.
Help us to rid our hearts of cynicism, pridefulness, jealousy, anger, and rudeness. Forgive us when we sin against each other, because all sin is against you.
Peace and wisdom are yours to give and we pray that you pour it out abundantly to all who enter our school doors.
In the name of Jesus we are allowed to pray,
Amen.
