Friday, January 12th

DAY 2

MORNING PRAYER

As we come to the end of another school week, let us reflect on the behaviour and attitudes we had this week. Were we the best we could have been? Did we make sure that everyone who we encountered felt valued and important?  

Loving God,

Thank you for another wonderful week

full of love, learning, and friendship.

I ask that you continue to guide me through faith

to becoming the best that I can be.

Help me to learn from my mistakes

and always be willing to learn more about you

and grow in my faith.

I ask this through Jesus’ name.

Amen.
