A new school year is around the corner. After purchasing new clothes, school supplies, and textbooks, students are ready for school. But in our culture, wisdom is lacking. "Wisdom" is NEVER on the school supply list! God's Word tells us to get wisdom (Proverbs 4: 5-7). The LORD promises to generously give wisdom to those who ask (James 1: 5) In addition to gaining wisdom, we can pray for our young people to develop godly attitudes, place their confidence in the LORD, set right priorities, treat others with love and respect, obey those in authority, and resist temptation.
Father God in heaven, thank you for loving us! Thank you for your precepts that teach us how to live. Bless our young people with your wisdom. Give them a desire to gain wisdom and to associate with wise people. Help our students to develop godly character and a good work ethic. When they face challenges, remind them to look to you as their help and strength. Help them to be kind, honest, and respectful. Give them strength and courage to stand for what is right. Teach them your ways. Protect our teachers, administrators and students. Fill our schools with your peace. In the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, amen.
