Finish Strong!
God,
As another school year comes to a close, we want to take time first to thank you:
Thank you for days of teaching and learning, of growth.
Thank you for staying close by your children when they needed your comfort and strength most.
Thank you for teachers and school administrators who spend their days teaching and caring for your children.
Thank you for students who show up to school each day, escaping troubles at home.
Lord now we ask, on behalf of your children, that you give them the strength they need to finish strong. Give them the patience and thoughtfulness when taking standardized tests.
Give teachers the endurance they need to complete each task.
In the face of a summer full of unknown schedules, give your children peace and comfort.
We hope in you and in your promises.
Amen.
