Dear God, School starts on tomorrow oh and by the way (Thank you, thank you ). We’ve got brand new school supplies tucked neatly into clean backpacks. The kids each have squeaky new shoes and their first day of school clothes picked out, except for my son who doesn’t care, but you know that already. Thank you for providing every bit of it. We’ve spent the last couple of weeks getting ready. And ready or not, it’s time. There are some jitters, Dynasty is wondering about getting the locker open on the first try, making new friends and who to sit by at lunch. I am just as nervous as the kids. You know I got a little emotional this week its always hard to send my babies off into the world but I know that you will watch over them especially my grand-daughter on her first day of pre-school. So here is my prayer for this 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,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 for Tyree. I pray my kids will befriend those that are new, lonely or both and help those who are being bullied I pray they will be a blessing to their teacher and not a curse. I pray you will bless them with Godly teachers . 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. Amen
