Back-To-School Prayer

Parents and children are probably experiencing those Back-to-School jitters today.

Pray.

Pray with your child before bed. In the morning, pray a blessing over your child before she leaves for school —for example:

Numbers 6:24-26: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace."

A family prayer or devotional reading each morning before everyone goes separate ways will draw you together as a family and help you focus on what matters most. Nothing fancy required: some verses, a song, a prayer, a blessing.
