A Back to School Blessing
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
One of the most important ways we can send children for school - whatever their age, is to pray for them. Here are just a few of the things I have been asking for in prayer for our children:
That they grow in knowledge and wisdom
They are affirmed in their gifts and abilities
Their minds and hearts are engaged in the joy of learning
They form friendships that will bless them
They form good relationships with their teachers
That God protect them from all danger
They have fun
Most of all, I pray they experience God’s presence, the love of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit every day.
I also ask that God bless all teachers, school administrators and staff with wisdom, patience and strength.
What will you add to this prayer?
