Great Teacher, 
We pray for students of every age and every stage
As they enter a new season of learning.

May they find safe space 
To pay attention and process the many emotions that arise. 
Would they come to trust no amount of knowledge will matter 
If they have not learned how to study the depths of their own emotional world.

God who walks beside us
Guide me as I lead myself, my work, and my neighbors.

Teach me wisdom—
Wisdom rooted in reverence,
Wisdom beyond my experience,
Wisdom to discern what matters most.

“The earth is Yours, and everything in it.”
Psalm 24:1

Father in Heaven,
Creator of all that is.
May we reflect
Your love for Creation,
And care for the home we share
With all You have made.

Father in Heaven,
We pray for our neighborhood schools
And the spectrum of students
Who enter schools each day.

May we honor our ancestor,
And the life and legacy of Jesus,
As we live faithfully in our time and place,
Filled with Your love and grace.
