Good Morning Saint John’s.
The work continues and the excitement has begun.
The preparation and anticipation of this new school year is producing some very different emotions in me.
Thoughts of schedules, sports, new teachers, new environments, and new procedures are all swirling in my head and the school hasn’t even begun. Some of our best-laid plans will go awry and need to be retooled, and other plans will sprout wings and help us soar.
As I pray for the new school year, I’m asking God to show me what all of us, and all our students need most in this new season. I invite you to join in prayer with me now.
In the name of the Father….
Father, thank you for taking care of us. Lord, I trust that whatever we may lack this year in school, You will provide. I pray that we are filled with compassion, understanding, and grace. Fill this school year with abundant favor and blessing. I pray no detail will be left undone for us for this year; everything we need will be provided for us, with your hand.
Father, thank you for giving us Your Spirit. Fill us afresh as we begin this year. Enable us to learn and soak up knowledge that draws us closer to You. Be our mouthpiece as we speak to others. Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be pleasing to You. Help us to grow closer to you and each other.
Lord, we walk into this year completely dependent upon You. When we begin to lean on our own understanding, remind us that Your ways far surpass ours. Thank you in advance for showing us the right paths and leading us in the way we should go. We don’t know what this year has in store, but You do. We trust in Your ability to care for us. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
In the name of the Father…
Have a fantastic day.
