Back to School

I don’t even have a student and I am shocked that the summer is ending. If I feel like it flew by, I can only imagine the teachers and the students. But here we are so you know what that means. We need to start praying.

I think I mentioned back in May that we went to fifth grade graduation and it was the first time I had been in an elementary school in years. I came away from that thinking we should be praying all year for these schools. My goodness, blessings to all of the folks dedicated to teaching these kids. It is a lot.

So let’s start …..and continue praying for our schools

Here are few prompts to get you started, but of course pray as you feel led

Praying for

• Provision of supplies and everything needed for a successful year.
• The right pairing of student and teacher
• Parents to adjust to the new schedule
• Peaceful mornings as students prepare to come to school
• Provision for teacher and staff families as they navigate caring for their personal and their school families
• Safety and the feeling of safety for all the kids
• Maturity and control for students who act out against classmates and teachers
• Productive partnering between parents and teachers
• Every child to find “their people” and no one feel alone
• Honoring of school zones and school bus safety

Feel free to add others in the comments. But most of all please join us in covering this school year in prayer.

Have a wonderful weekend!
