Before a test

God, help me remember what I studied. Help me stay calm. Whatever the score, I know I'm still loved. Amen.

Jesus, please help me be kind to people who aren't kind to me. Show me who to sit with today. Amen.

Father, bless my teacher today. Give them patience and joy. Help me help them. Amen.

Verse to remember

— Philippians 4:13

Parent tip

Pray in the car on the way to school. It sets the tone for the whole day.
