As another school year begins, I wanted to write a prayer for my own children. I pray that this may help and encourage you too. God bless.
Dear Lord,
As our children begin another year of school, we pray that you would fill them with confidence, peace and the willingness to learn.
We pray for their teachers, coaches, mentors and friends, and that each of them would be able to positively contribute to the growth of our kids.
We acknowledge that not all learning is academic, and that our children need to understand the value of listening to others, coping with disappointment, helping those who struggle, encouraging a wary teammate and, that genuine kindness can break down many barriers.
Gracious God, we ask that you place your great arms of protection over our kids, and that you would give them strength to overcome the obstacles in their paths.
We also ask, that where we cannot be, that you would keep watch over their lives.
Give them courage to stand by their faith, principles and convictions.
Lord, help us to nurture our kids as best we can, and to allow them just enough freedom to spread their wings, but enough guidance to make wise decisions.
As they begin this new year of studies and adventures, we intentionally place them into your loving care.
Lord, in your mercy, please hear our prayer.
Living in Grace
