As a new school year begins, our hearts are especially with every child, teenager, and college student stepping into a new season.
On our School Opening Day, our Pastor prayed over our youth, college students, and school children, placing each one into the loving hands of God. As parents and families, we may not be able to walk into every classroom with them, sit beside them on every bus, follow them across every college campus, or protect them from every challenge they may face ,but we know the One who can.
We pray that God goes before them everywhere they go. May He stand beside them when they feel nervous, strengthen them when they feel overwhelmed, comfort them when they feel alone, and guide them when they have difficult decisions to make.
May God place His hedge of protection around every student. Protect their minds, their hearts, their bodies, and their future. Keep them safe on the roads, in their schools, in their classrooms, on the playgrounds, at practices, in dorm rooms, and everywhere their feet may go.
When we cannot see them, God sees them.
When we cannot reach them, God can reach them.
When we cannot protect them, God is already there.
May He surround them with good friends, caring teachers, wise mentors, and people who will encourage them toward what is right. May He protect them from harm, bad influences, fear, anxiety, and anything that would try to steal their peace or distract them from the purpose He has for their lives.
To every student beginning this new school year:
You are deeply loved, you are being prayed for, and you never walk alone. God goes before you, walks beside you, and watches over you.
Ebenezer Church wishes all of our school and college students a beautiful, successful, joyful, and blessed new school year. May you grow in wisdom, knowledge, confidence, kindness, and faith.
“The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Psalm 121:8
May God's hand be upon every one of our children, today and throughout this entire school year. 🙏❤️📚🎓
With love and prayers,
Ebenezer Church Family
