Back to School Prayer?

Question

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a back to school prayer to give to my kids for the first day of school. Thanks!

Answer 1

If their were but fewer people in your cult, you'd be arrested.

Answer 2

Okay, I'm sorry I don't have one to give you, but I wanted you to know that not everyonbe's an idiot around here. You're not a bad parent, and I'm sure you're not in a cult. I wish my mother had taught me about church ot the Bible or anything at all. Your children are lucky to have you as a mom who wants to guide them and protect them like you do.

Anyway, all I can tell you about a back-to-school prayer is to try to make it up yourself. Find some school-related rhyming words and turn them into an appropriate prayer.

Answer 3

The best prayer of all would be the one you pray with them, every morning before you send them to school. Remember to praise God for all of His wonderful gifts to you, but especially for your kids, and for the kids, especially for a Mom who loves them enough to pray with them as the family begins the day. Ask Him to look after all of you, as you go your separate ways and about your different tasks, and ask Him to see you safely back together at the day's end.
In my humble opinion, when you have prayed together as a family before you go off to whatever, you are stronger and better able to cope with whatever might come your way during the day.
God bless you, Mom, and God bless the little ones, too!

Wow, so many people so angry, because a mother wants her kids to go back to school with a prayer on their lips, and God in their hearts! It is so sad, I think. When we were a praying nation, we were a strong nation, but now that we have tossed God out of public office, well...I wonder why people can't see the connection for themselves?

Answer 4

Ask your Pastor, Priest, or Rabbi (depending upon you faith) for a prayer. I am glad to see that there are still people out there who value prayer in their family lives. It is a fact that there was less aggression (both verbal and in acts) when prayer was in school. Good Luck and God Bless!

Answer 6

For Catholics:
Prayer for Students



Under thy patronage, dear Mother, and calling on the mystery of thine Immaculate Conception, I desire to pursue my studies and my literary labors: I hereby solemnly declare that I am giving myself to these studies chiefly to the following end: that I may the better contribute to the glory of God and to the promotion of thy veneration among men. I pray thee, therefore, most loving Mother, who art the Seat of Wisdom, to bless my labors in thy loving-kindness. Moreover I promise with true affection and a willing spirit, as it is right that I should do, to ascribe all the good that shall come to me therefrom, wholly to thine intercession for me in God's holy presence. Amen.
For Non Catholics:
Prayer for Students
Father of Light and Wisdom,
thank you for giving me
a mind that can know
and a heart that can love.

Help me to keep learning every day of my life--
no matter what the subject may be.
Let me be convinced that all knowledge leads to you
and let me know how to find you and love you
in all the things you have made.

Encourage me when the studies are difficult
and when I am tempted to give up
Enlighten me when my brain is slow
and help me to grasp the truth held out to me.

Grant me the grace to put my knowledge to use
in building the kingdom of God on earth
so that I may enter the kingdom of God in heaven.
Amen.

Get a prayer book for your kids

Answer 8

Just a moment of silence would probably be best. Not really supposed to pray out loud in school.

Answer 9

Jesus said to pray this prayer "our Father who art in heaven,holy be Thy Name,Thy kingdom come,Thy will,Thy will, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread (NOT FOOD BREAD,his word) forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us,lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil.Amen

Answer 10

THE LORD'S PRAYER COVERS EVERYTHING IN LIFE.

MATTHEW 6:9-6:13
OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
THY KINGDOM COME,
THY WILL BE DONE. IN EARTH,
AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD.
AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS,
AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION,
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL:
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM,
AND THE POWER,
AND THE GLORY FOR EVER....AMEN

Answer 11

Try teaching them to do for others instead of wasting time praying, k?
