God of all,
You have created a world of wonder and beauty and placed us in it as stewards of all you have made. Bless this school year as it begins, so that all our learning would be turned to your purposes.
When we are confronted with sorrow or stress or exhaustion, help us remember that you are our strength.
When we see another's pain, help us remember that you are our compassion.
When we find ourselves lost or confused, help us remember that you are our true home.
In all things, keep us firm in the faith you have placed in our hearts so that we might grow, without fear, into the person you have called us to be and discover the joy of following you all the days of our lives.
