Scripture:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies
never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
Lamentations 3:22-24
Prayer:
Lord we thank You for young children who are going to school
for the first time. Give these pre-kindergartners and kindergartners an excitement about going to school for
the first time. Let then be ready to go
to school and learn. We pray that their
parents will let them go with as little drama as possible. Lord, let these new learners have excellent
teachers who will introduce then to education in a way that it will spark their
love of learning, encourage their minds to learn, and create a life-long
learner. We pray that these new learners
will learn all that they can and grow as young people. We pray that their first few weeks of school
will go smoothly with as few tears as possible.
We thank You for young minds to nurture. Thank You. Amen.
