Like most of you, my kids went back to school this week. They are finally back at the same school together again and love it! So far, it has been a good start to the school year for both of them. But that doesn't mean I haven't been anxious. (I actually think I was more nervous than Abi who started at a brand new school). So I had to submit my anxieties to Christ and entrust him to look after her. But that took some discipline. I wanted to fret! But... she had GOOD experiences! Unfortunately, school isn't always a positive experience for every child. There are things you will do practically to ensure things go smoothly, but don't forget to remind your child that they are not alone. That they can ask the Holy Spirit for comfort and help. And you too should remember that YOU can ask him for those things for him/her! Be specific in your requests. Follow this link for some back to school prayers that you can use! You and your child are not alone. Oh, and don't forget to TELL your kids that you are praying for them! To this day I love it when my parents tell me the stuff they pray for me about!
