Almighty Father, as we embark on a new school year,
we come to You in prayer, full of hope and cheer.
Bless the children, dear Lord, with Your divine grace,
guide them and protect them through each challenge they face.
Grant them wisdom to learn and understand,
open their hearts to knowledge so grand.
Help them to seek truth with an open mind,
and let their love for learning brightly shine.
Give them strength when things get tough,
fill them with resilience, when they’ve had enough.
Bless their teachers, too, with patience and light,
as they guide and inspire with all their might.
We entrust this new school year to Your care,
knowing that You're with us everywhere.
With faith in our hearts, we take each step,
confident in Your love, there's nothing to fret.
Amen.
