As we enter this first week of the New School Year, our thoughts and prayers are with all those in education:
🛐Loving God, As a new school year begins, we pray for every child and young person taking their next step. Be especially close to those starting nursery, school or college for the very first time. Calm their worries, fill them with confidence, and help them to make new friends.
We also pray for those moving into new classes, meeting new teachers, and embracing new opportunities. Give them curious minds, kind hearts, and the courage to do their best each day.
Bless all teachers, teaching assistants, school staff and families as they support and encourage those in their care. May every place of learning be filled with patience, understanding, joy and hope.
May your love go with us all as this new chapter begins. Amen.
