Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up all your children who are students. Give them focus and a good attitude, and surround them with friends who will lift them up and make them better people. May they shine Your light into their world, and see Your light in others as well. Bless their teachers, staff, and administrators with patience, kindness, understanding, and discernment. Lastly, we ask that you continue to extend your loving grace

to all the parents and remind us that we are all your beloved children whom you love oh-so- much, even on the bad days. May all our efforts give glory to Your kingdom. In your Son’s most precious name we pray, Amen.
