Scripture:
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of
old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive
it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah
43:18-19
Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for students who are growing up to become
young people. As the young people enter
a new aspect of their education, we pray that their encounter with secondary
education is a good one. Lord, let them
know that they must grow up and begin to take seriously their path in
life. Let their parents nurture them and
give them room to grow up freely. We
know these students will make mistakes, but Lord, let the mistakes be as
minimal as possible. Let them learn from
their mistakes. Encourage their hearts
and minds to want to learn. Let them
encounter teachers who will help them grow into excellent students who develop
a love of life-long learning. Let them
encounter upper classmen that will help them and mentor them as they go through
the 9th grade. Let this first year of
high school be an amazing year filled with love, learning, nurturing, and
growth. Thank You. Amen.
Go a Step Further:
If you drive by any high school(s) take a moment to whisper
this prayer as you drive by. If you
don’t drive by any high school(s), purposely drive by a school and pray this
prayer.
