Back-to-School Prayer for Parents

I know a lot of parents who can use some prayers as their kids are venturing to school for the first time, or beginning a new school year at a new school, God Bless them! Here's a prayer for any parents that may need a little extra help as they kiss their kids goodbye in the carpool lane, or as they watch them get on the bus, or even a goodbye on the college campus!

Dear Lord,
As my children leave for school,
I pray that you will keep them in your care.
Send your Spirit to open their minds
to all that is true and beautiful and good.
Help them to see the gifts and talents
you have given them and to use them well.
Help them to grow in knowledge and wisdom.
Help them to be kind to others
and lead others to be kind to them.
Give their teachers patience and understanding
and help them teach what is just and true.
Send your angels to guide and guard my children
and to keep them from all harm.
Open their young hearts to your presence
and enfold them in your peace and protection.
Hold them in the palm of your hand
and bring them home safely at day’s end.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
