A Prayer for the end of Term

Loving Father, 

as we come to the end

of another term

we turn to you in confidence 

and place any difficult relationships

into the healing hands of Jesus, your Son. 

 

Enable us to leave behind 

any pain of the past

and any regrets or bitterness, 

entrusting the past to your mercy, 

the present to your love, 

and the future to your providence. 

Help us appreciate more

the need to keep a good balance 

in our lives.

 

May the holiday be for us 

a time of rest and recreation

to help restore us 

and re-create us 

in your image and likeness, 

as we enjoy

more of the love and presence 

of our families, 

on whom we ask your blessing. 

Amen.
