A student’s prayer for the new year

Student’s Prayer for a New Year

My Heavenly Father, as I enter my school, I bring Your presence with me.  I speak Your peace, Your grace, Your mercy, and Your perfect order into my school.  I acknowledge Your power over all that will be spoken, thought, decided, and done within these walls.  Lord, I thank You for the gifts You have blessed me with.  I commit to using them responsibly in Your honor.  Give me a fresh supply of strength to do my job.  Anoint my projects, ideas, and energy, so that even my smallest accomplishment may bring You glory.  Lord, when I am confused, guide me.  When I am weary, energize me.  When I am burned out, infuse me with the light of the Holy Spirit.  May th ework that I do and the way I do it bring faith, joy, and a smile to all that I come in contact with today.  And, Oh Lord, when I leave this place, give me traveling mercy.  Bless my family and home to be in order according to Your will.  Lord, I think You for everthing You have done, everthing You are doing, and everthing You are going to do.  In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray with much love and thanksgiving, AMEN.

Isaiah 26:12 12 LORD, You will establish peace for us, For You have also done all our works in us.
