FOR BLESSING OF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR  

A new school year has begun—a time of fresh blessings, opportunities, and challenges. Along with the joy of learning, our children will also face the pressure of secular ideologies and the negative influence of peers. Acknowledging our full dependence on the Lord, we invite you to dedicate this week to a special prayer for students and teachers.
This Sunday, at our family gathering, we will join together in prayer for God’s blessing over the school year. Please pray:

• For students: that God would protect them from the destructive power of sin; bless them with health, diligence, and the ability to learn; that they would grow in the fear of the Lord, being a light and salt among their peers.
• For parents: that God would grant wisdom and patience; that they would set an example of godly living, teach their children to turn away from evil, and positively influence those around them.
• For teachers and school administration: that God would send them strength and wisdom, and keep them from spreading ungodly ideas or harmful influences.
