Family "Back to School" Prayer

This was distributed to families attending the Back to School Supper and CDM Open House last Wednesday evening. I hope all families offer such prayers as the school year begins.

God of all learning, we pray for your blessing on this new school year. May (child’s name) know your presence as he/she begins this day. We are all excited and a bit scared, but we do give thanks for you always being with us. As parents, guide our judgment and understanding as we seek ways to grow our children. We ask for your protection throughout the day.

Be with all teachers and students today so that they know your wisdom. Let words spoken be gentle and actions nurturing. May mistakes be learning experiences and may forgiveness always be on all our lips. Fill our hearts with your love and help us to share it with others. In the name of Jesus, our teacher and Lord. Amen
