A prayer for my boys as they start the new school year: I pray you will be near them when I can’t be. I pray if they don’t feel your presence, they will seek you and discover you’re right there with them. I pray you will surround them with peace and comfort in every new situation. I pray when they are pressured, you will help them stand. I pray they find one good friend, a brother or sister in Christ because it’s hard to stand alone. I pray that 6 AM won’t come as early this year. I pray when they fail, they will forgive themselves and try again. I pray you will give the school nurse an extra supply of patience and bandaids for my first grader. I pray my kids will befriend those that are new, lonely or both. I pray they will not sit next the child who has to throw up in the class trashcan. I pray they will be a blessing to their teacher and not a curse. I pray you will bless them with Godly teachers as you have in the past. I pray they will have fun. But not too much, if you know what I mean. I pray they will let their light shine, quietly or loudly, but in their own way. I pray homework will be light and not become Home. Work. I pray that you will help me to trust their choices, let them go even when it’s hard, and pull them close when they need me to the most. I pray above all, God, that you would use their challenges, disappointments and victories to draw them closer to you this school year.
