Prayer

Creator God,

We give thanks for this new school year

and pray for energy and patience through changes for students, teachers and families.

We pray for compassionate hearts to reach out to those in need.

We pray for unity as we work together for a safe community.

We pray that all people will treat others with kindness and respect.

We pray for those who are sad, sick or lonely that you will give them hope.

We ask for wisdom for those who make decisions for our futures.

We pray for Your emotional, physical, and spiritual protection.

We pray that we continue to be inclusive and broad in our thinking,

that we continue to be imaginative and innovative,

that we have the energy required to sustain us.

We pray that we continue to be intentional collaborators, guided by your spirit.

We give thanks for all the blessings you have given us.

Help us not to overlook them.

We ask this through Christ our Lord,

Amen.

Venerable Nano Nagle, Pray for us.
