As we bid summer adieu, I offer you all this lovely back to school prayer from Sarah Bessey:
“Beloved
one, as you begin anew, may the light of curiosity and truth of love guide you
on this journey back to school. May you find the courage and humility to be
both student and teacher, knowing that we all hold wisdom to share.
May your hearts remain open to the stories woven into the
pages of textbooks and the lives of your fellow travelers. Let the diversity of thought and experience expand your
horizons and deepen your love for the world.
In the stress of deadlines and assignments, remember that
your worth is not measured by grades alone. Embrace the process, the questions
that lead to even more questions. May you experience moments of
challenge and grace, laughter and learning as gifts.
As you gather with friends old and new, may you build
connections that bring goodness to you and the community around you. Be gentle
with yourselves, for learning is not just about acquiring facts but about
allowing transformation and growth, too.
So, go forth with the grace of a learner's heart. May you approach each day with a spirit of wonder, ready
to engage, explore, and evolve.
And as you venture into this new season of learning, may
you always remember: you are enough and you are so very, very loved.
Amen
Now go get’em…”
