Opening Prayer
Opening Prayer
Almighty God, as students all around our community are resuming their schooling, I ask you to keep them safe, bless their studies and empower their teachers. Holy Spirit, I confess to you that, in matters of faith, I need to redo school. Too often I am blinded by my adult sophistication and I fail to trust you for forgiving me, healing me, changing me – so (re)enroll me in the school of faith! And too often I forget to offer my heart to you – so re-enroll me in Christ’s school of prayer, where I lay all my cares (and the cares of others) at the foot of the cross. Let my studies resume today, with the prayers I now offer… (continue praying, as the Spirit leads you)
please pray for:
Those who are ill:
