Our Heavenly Father,
You made us in Your image, for relationship with You and with one another. We thank You for the gift of community, where joys are celebrated and burdens, whether hidden or seen, can be carried together.
Forgive us when we overlook the needs of others. Shape us to notice, to listen and to speak with grace that reflects Your love.
In our weariness, help us remember that Christ bore our sorrows on the cross and rose in triumph, promising us lasting hope.
May our homes and our school be places of safety, compassion and grace, where Your love is made visible each day, and the promise of Your Kingdom is revealed.
Through Jesus Christ, who died and rose again to bring life in all its fullness, we pray. Amen.
