Each year, we start the school year with anticipation and apprehension. We hope for the best and brace for the worst. Some of us are excited to see our kids in their new classrooms and catch up on what they’ve been up to since last year. Others are scared that our kids will be completely lost in a sea of new faces and unfamiliar routines. Regardless of where you stand on this annual tradition, one thing is for sure – we all need some prayer before the start of the school year.
The Purpose of Prayer
Prayer is the act of asking for help and guidance from God. Prayer can be used to ask for blessings during the new school year, or for any other purpose. Prayer can be said aloud, in your head, or even silently. The most important thing is that you find a way that works best for you to connect with God.
There are many benefits to prayer. Praying can help you connect with God, find clarity in difficult situations, and gain strength in times of challenge. Prayer can also provide peace and perspective in difficult times. Additionally, prayer can help you develop relationships with others, strengthen your faith, and encourage others.
Whether you are starting the new school year or have been going through it for awhile, prayer is an important tool to use as a means of connecting with God and gaining strength during challenging times.
