Whether you're a student, parent, teacher, or caregiver, this prayer is for you. 📖 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 📖 “The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” — Psalm 121:7–8 Today’s prayer invites you to hand the school year over to the One who already knows the end from the beginning. God sees every hallway, every test, every friendship, and every challenge. He is our guide, our protector, and our peace—every single day.
