God of wisdom and might, we thank you for the wonder of our being, for mind, body and spirit. Be with our children as they begin a new school year. Bless them and their teachers and staff. Give them strength and grace as their bodies grow; wisdom and knowledge to their minds as they search for understanding; and peace to their hearts. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for Students Lord our God, in your wisdom and love you surround us with the mysteries of life. Send your spirit upon these students and fill them with your wisdom and blessings. Grant that they may devote themselves to their studies and draw ever closer to you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for Educators Lord God, your spirit of wisdom fills the earth and teaches us your ways. Look upon the teachers, principals and staff. Let them strive to share their knowledge with gentle patience and endeavor always to bring the truth to eager minds. Grant that we may follow Jesus Christ, the way, the truth and the life, forever and ever. Amen. 6
