Prayer 1 of 4About a minute aloud

We lift up every student and teacher who feels anxious or overwhelmed. Please calm their racing thoughts and soothe their worried spirits. Remind them to breathe and to cast all their anxieties on You, because You care for them. Guard their minds from the “what ifs” and help them to focus on this present moment, trusting that You hold their future. When stress begins to rise, let it be a signal to turn to You. Help us to build quiet moments into our busy days to connect with Your peaceful presence. Let this peace guide our decisions, soften our words, and relax our bodies. May Your tranquility rule in our classrooms and in our homes, reminding us that we are safe and secure in Your loving hands, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
