Back to School Prayer

 

Lord God giver of life, wisdom and knowledge.  We ask you to to bless and protect all students who will be returning to school now.  From pre-school to graduate school, medical, seminary and law school; impart your graces upon all: students, teachers, professors, administrators, janitors, cafeteria staff, chaplains, ministers, counselors, secretaries, and nurses.

From you comes all wisdom and knowledge.  You reveal to man the wonders of this universe, the wonders of nature, the wonders of the human body and mind, and the wonders of your grace.  Keep students focused on learning and give patience and kindness to instructors.  Send your angels to keep guard of all schools and institutions of learning.  Instill in all a desire to learn more and grow in grace.  Inspire students to focus on the good and to use their skills in service of others.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen
