DAY 2

MORNING PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

As we reach the last day of this school year,

we gather in gratitude and joy.

We thank you for the knowledge gained,

friendships formed, and growth experienced. 

Bless our students, teachers, and staff as they conclude this chapter.

May they find rest, renewal, and inspiration during the upcoming break. 

Guide us in using the lessons learned

to continue our journey of lifelong learning and personal development.

May your grace accompany us throughout the summer

and prepare us for the blessings of the next academic year.

Through Christ our Lord.  

Amen

DAY 2

MORNING PRAYER

Let’s pause and think for a moment how small we are in the Universe, yet we can read in the Bible that God knows each of us personally.  Let us reflect on this thought for today.   

Loving God,

Once again, I am consoled by your promise of no greater hope. 

When I look at the universe you created,

I am amazed at its size and beauty,

and yet you want a personal relationship with me. 

Thank for that great hope and help me as I journey in life. 

Through Christ our Lord.  

Amen
