Father God, we come before you today to lift up the children and youth of Christ Church and their families, in advance of the beginning of the school year. Thank you for the lives of all the children in our church family and please pour your blessings upon them.
Empower the children and youth this school year, to continue to follow you, to be filled with the light of Jesus, and to let their lights shine so that others see the good things they do and praise your name, Father, in heaven.
Be with all the parents, Lord, and give them the fruits of the Holy Spirit, especially patience, gentleness, and self-control as they manage the busyness of life and juggle the many demands that the school year brings. Let them see clearly not only what you would have them do, but also what you would have them not do in order to draw themselves and their families closer to you.
I ask for your protection and safety for all children everywhere, especially those who don’t have all the opportunities that our children do.
I thank you for the entire family of Christ Church where we are all striving together for Real Community and Living Worship, as we seek to grow as Christians ourselves and Bring good news to others.
We love you Father, and I pray this in the name of your precious son, our savior, Jesus Christ.
