Heavenly Father, we thank you that even in the uncertainty of these times, we can look to Jesus and be certain of our hope.
We pray for our students that have worked faithfully this term, that they may rest and find joy over the holidays with their families. We lift those students who are anxious, disheartened and weary; may your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Lord, bless the wonderful parents in our community. Guide them and sustain them in their influential role as parents. May they find time to connect, love their family and enjoy this period of rest. Be with and protect our families over these holidays.
We ask that you bless and encourage our faithful staff here at Heathdale as their diligence continues to honour you. May your peace and comfort be present in their hearts during the break.
Thank you that even in these seasons of challenges, you are faithful and bless us richly in Christ. Help us to trust in you, to remember your promises to us and encourage one another along to way.
Amen.
