Your kids are already heading back to school. You may be at home or at work thinking about them. Maybe you are carrying with you some worry or anxiety. Maybe you are filled with excitement for them. Although you can’t be there with them in person, you can still be united with them in prayer. Here are some prayers we can pray for our children as they start a new school year.

A Back-to-School Prayer for Your Child
Here is the prayer I wrote for my kids this year:
A Prayer on the Night Before the First Day of School
Dear Lord,
Our children are filled with emotions about their first day of school!
Fill them with peace instead of worry.
Give them courage instead of fear.
Strengthen them with your presence as they start the new year.
Amen.
