Back to School Prayer...

My Sweet friend Jody sent this to me... 

I had to share it!! 

Hope your first day whether yesterday, 

today or 

tomorrow glorified or will glorify our Great God who reigns on High!

Here we are again, Lord.  Their backpacks are loaded and their faces are scrubbed and their lunches are full.

I know you’ll walk with them Lord.  You always do.  But a mom still has to ask.

Will you walk with them?  Will You whisper to them what they need to hear, when I’m not there to whisper it?

Will You please, oh please, cover their school with the protection only You can give, and will You keep harm far away?

Will you make their minds strong and ready to learn?  Will You help them understand that hard work honors the One who created them?

Will You guide their teachers, giving them patience and wisdom and creativity and more patience?  Will You bless them for their efforts.

Will You love all those children there, the ones whose lunches aren’t full, the ones who feel alone?  Will You teach our children to be kind and unselfish and to love those who are different from them?

Will you point them back toward home just as soon as you can?

Lord, I give them to You today and everyday, trusting them to Your care.

Amen
