Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up this precious child on her first day of school. Lord, we ask that You take her in Your hands and make everything as smooth and safe for her as possible. Your Word tells us in Psalm 121:7-8, "The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." We pray that You watch over her, protecting her from any harm.
Father, we ask that You boost her confidence and strengthen her self-esteem and self-image. In Philippians 4:13, You remind us, "I can do all this through Him who gives me strength." May she feel Your strength within her, giving her the confidence to face this new chapter with courage and joy.
Lord, bless her with love, peace, happiness, grace, and prosperity. In Numbers 6:24-26, it is written, "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace." We pray that Your blessings and peace surround her every day.
We also pray for her parent, who seeks to stay regulated and feel safe. In Isaiah 26:3, You promise, "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." Grant them peace and calm, helping them to remain composed and supportive for their daughter.
Father, do not let them get triggered. Help them to be safe and calm for their daughter. In Psalm 94:19, it is written, "When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy." May Your consolation and joy fill their heart, providing the strength and peace needed for this important day.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
