Heavenly Father,
You are the Lord of all wisdom, the One through whom our world was made. You know each child in our community; what they enjoy learning and what they find difficult.
As our students sit their NAPLAN tests, grant them calm hearts and clear minds.
Remind them that learning is a gift and that their worth is not measured by results, but rests in belonging to the God who made them.
When anxiety rises, draw us again to Jesus Christ, who invites the weary to come to Him and find rest. Teach us to trust that Your grace meets us in our limits.
Bless our teachers, parents and carers as they support our students, and let our community be marked by encouragement and perseverance.
Grow in us wisdom that is humble and kind, so that our learning may serve Your good purposes in the world.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
