A Back to School Prayer from Rev. Melissa:
Dear wise and nurturing God,
As your beloved child begins a new school year,
pour out your blessings for a fun and fruitful experience.
Generate excitement for
new knowledge,
new people, and
new experiences.
Provide your insight and understanding.
Clear away distractions and anxiety.
Surround this precious person with your love.
Offer protection of body, mind, and spirit.
Instill courage to be a peace builder, following the teachings of Jesus.
Inspire imagination for creativity to flourish.
Infuse Christlike light love so that every encounter reflects your goodness.
Amen
