Back To School Prayer

Dear God,

Thank you for the gift 
of education in every form.

As our children prepare 
to start a new year, 

may confidence be their foundation, 

may grace be their guide 

and may hope be their compass 

toward a bright future.

We pray they would have eyes to see 

the needs of those around them 

and a heart to love well. 

May they face each day 
with positivity, 

knowing that no matter 
what comes their way, 

they do not have to face it alone.

Amen
