As a new school year begins, we pray for all students, teachers, and school staff.
Heavenly Father, be with every child returning to school. Give them courage for new challenges, kindness for new friendships, and peace in knowing You are always with them. May they be safe, happy, and blessed in all they do.
Bless their teachers and school staff with wisdom, patience, and encouragement as they guide and support them throughout the year.
Amen.
