SCHOOL PRAYER

Holy God, kind God. You give me another day.

I thank you for this gift of life.
I come to you, and my life is but a journey towards you.
I offer my every thought and deed.
All my conversations and silence, all my work and struggle,
All that makes me happy, and all that is difficult for me.
Show me what is right and what is evil,
So that I may not err.
I will gladly do what you command.
I will bear happily what you lay upon my shoulders.
I will work willingly, enlighten me with your power.
Keep me in your joy.
Now, oh God, I go with your light: your joy pours into my day’s work.
Let my life be a light.
Amen.
