Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the gift of friendship and community.
We pray that You would strengthen the connections between our students. Help them to grow in understanding what it means to be a good friend, forming relationships that are healthy, uplifting and full of joy.
For students who feel lonely, we ask that You would provide them with good friends. Give each child courage to reach out, and hearts that are attentive to those in need.
Lord, we also lift up the friendships of parents in our school. We thank You for the support found in family and friends as our parents work diligently to raise up their children. For those who are weary, please bring the right people into their lives, so they too may experience encouragement and true community.
Thank You for being a faithful friend to us, and for calling us Your friends (John 15:15). May our school community reflect Your love and Your heart.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
