Here’s a back-to-school prayer I wrote for the St. Peter Lutheran Church Facebook page. I think this is a good way for church’s social media accounts to recognize a big moment in the community.
This is the graphic I made and the words of the prayer are below. The picture is from this photo by Joanna Kosinska on Unsplash. Feel free to share the prayer and graphic. Made with Canva.
Loving God, thank you for the rest and relaxation we enjoyed over the summer.
Today, we pray for our children as they begin their new school year.
Bless them with joy at seeing friends, excitement at new experiences, and a love of learning.
Watch over all who learn, replacing fear with joy, anxiety with peace, and tiredness with energy.
Grant teachers wisdom, patience, and joy in serving their students.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
Here are two more versions of the back to school prayer with very slightly altered wording that I made for this fall. Both are made with Canva and use graphics available through their search tool.
