God, Go With Them: 31 Back to School Prayers for Your ChildSample

Jesus, give my child a heart that loves like You do—not just the easy people, but even those who are unkind to them. When someone hurts their feelings or treats them badly, help them respond with grace instead of getting even. Teach them to be generous and kind without expecting anything back, and to show mercy even when others don't deserve it. Help them see that this kind of love sets them apart and reflects Your character. Give them the courage to treat others the way they want to be treated, even when it's hard. Show me how I can encourage them and model this kind of love to them too. Amen.
