A Prayer for the New School Year

Bless us as we start this new year with our friends and teachers.

Help us to make the most of every chance we have to start afresh.

May we show love to one another and to all.

May the new beginning of this school year remind us that you give us chances

to start over again and again.

Help us to forgive others as we receive

your forgiveness.

Help us to learn and to work together.

Help us to listen when we should

and to know the best words when we speak

and when it is better not to speak.

We thank you for our friends. Help us to be good friends this year.

Help us to be patient with ourselves

and with others.

Bless our school and keep us safe.

Be with us as we travel each day.

Bless all those who care for us

in school and at home.

Help us show our care for them

and to say sorry when we need to.

Amen
