Back to School Blessing
God of Wisdom and Grace,
Bless all students and teachers as they begin a new year.
Equip them with the tools needed to be successful, full of joy and energy.
Calm any nerves or fears they may hold within their hearts. Instead, focus their minds on the opportunities and possibilities in front of them.
Empower students to create meaningful friendships, caring for one another with love and mutual kindness.
Allow parents to breathe deeply upon completing the summer. Memories were made, special times together, and unforgettable days— a job well done.
For students starting at a new school, provide a tangible glimpse of your presence so they know you are never far.
Breath by breath.
Step by step.
You are there.
Bless all school administrators for being the glue that holds schools together. May they know that they are noticed and appreciated.
God, you are gracious and loving to us all. Thank you for the possibilities of a new year, the slow changing of seasons, and the smiles on the faces of kids as they begin something new.
We place in your hands the 2024-25 school year.
Amen.
