First Day of School Prayer

 Heavenly Father,

We give you our hopes, worries and fears as our lovely child starts school.

We pray that you would fill their hearts with excitement and calm their worries with your love.

Please go before them, help them make friends, enjoy the activities and build relationships with their teachers and carers.

May we learn to entrust them each day into your care, and as we do may they grow in confidence and independence.

Father, may joy abound in their hearts as they enter this new exciting season of their lives.

In Jesus name.

Amen.
