Dear Heavenly
Father,
Sometimes
summer seems too short, but I’m glad that school is starting because I want to
see my friends. Help me focus on my studies as much as the fun.
I want people
to know that I follow You, but sometimes it’s a little scary. Give me patience
when teachers are boring, classes uninteresting or slower students ask for
help. Help me avoid temptations. Show me how to live a life that is pleasing to
You. If I am in danger, protect and guide me. I want to look cool, but there
are so many things I don’t know.
Please give me
strength to refuse the things that can hurt me and avoid hanging out with
friends who encourage me to do things I know I shouldn’t. I’m not very strong
when it comes to saying “No,” but your help makes a difference.
Thank you for
my parents. Sometimes we don’t agree, but I know they love me. Help me to be respectful
and obedient, even when I don’t feel like it.
This will be a
busy year. Please help me keep my relationship with You as my number one
priority. Thank you for the many ways that You care for me. I love You. In the
name of Jesus, amen.
