Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this brand-new day! The sun is shining, and my heart is happy. You’ve given me another chance to learn, grow, and be kind. Thank You for watching over me while I slept and filling my dreams with peace.
Lord, as I prepare for school, I ask for Your guidance. Please help me to be patient when things get hard. Help me to be brave when I feel shy and strong when I feel tired.
Give me a heart that listens to my teachers and respects my classmates. Help me to use kind words, share with others, and be a friend to those who feel lonely.
Please bless my family today. Keep my parents safe as they work and take care of me. Help my siblings to have a great day too. And Lord, I pray for my teachers—give them wisdom and joy as they teach us new things.
If I make mistakes today, remind me that it’s okay to try again. If I feel afraid, let me remember that You are always with me. If someone is mean to me, help me to forgive and show kindness.
And if I see someone sad, help me to be a light and share a smile.
Thank You, Jesus, for loving me. Thank You for my school, my friends, and all the opportunities to learn. I give this day to You and ask that You help me walk in Your love.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
“Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.” – Psalm 86:11
