Prayer for school : Start with Grace

It is essential that you always keep your kids in prayer.

Their going out and coming in should be shielded by prayers.

Schools form a crucial part of their growing up and hence should be remembered as well.

Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, or even the principal, your school needs to be upheld in prayers.

You are responsible for the lives of the thousands of kids who enter your school.

We have a series of prayers you can use as your school prayers.

And fill my heart with learning cheer.
Keep me centered, Lord, right here.

For little wins along the way.

From morning bell to final call.
In joy and thanks, I’ll stand tall.

Lord, when the day feels long and tough,
When work gets hard and words are rough,

Give me strength to press on through,

Remind me that You’re always near.

When I am weak, make me strong,
To stand with grace and carry on.
In every struggle, keep me strong.

God, let kindness lead the way,
In every word I choose today.

Help me lift the ones who fall,
Share a smile with one and all.

Include them with a cheerful shout.

Let my actions shine with love,
Reflecting You, Lord, from above.
Make kindness grow in every glove.
