Since the children, educators, and teachers are heading back to school. I came across this prayer that I felt would be great, to cover them.
Father,
This is the day
You have made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. It doesn’t look like we
thought it would look, nor will tomorrow and the days to come likely be
executed in the way we expected and prepared for. Help us to see the good in
each day. Help us to find reasons to rejoice and ways to be glad. Litter our
lives with moments of laughter and lightheartedness, even in these extremely
dark and trying times. Birthdays are still to be celebrated each day. The sun
keeps coming up, and You remain the same. We are created in Your image, God, to
do good and great things to bring glory to Your name. Each one of us, both
teacher and student, were created with specific purpose. Help teachers to have
confidence in their craft. They were meant to teach, educate, coach, counsel
and lead. They are needed, appreciated, and loved. Their work and their efforts
are never in vain. When it is hard to see the good, grab our attention, Father.
When we are sad and miss school, our normal routine, and our teammates and
coaches, encourage our spirits. Sustain us through our very real fear of what
is and will happen in our world, God. Remind us we are not alone, even when we
feel isolated.
