A Prayer for the Beginning of the Semester
O Eternal God, you promise to be with us always. Be present with these students as they begin another semester. Keep them in health and keep them from harm. May your love strengthen their heart, mind, and soul, and may they learn to share that love with others, so that they might fulfill your purposes for them and your calling on their lives as students. In Christ’s name. Amen.
