“The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.” (Proverbs 27:9, NLT)
Heavenly Father,
We thank you for the holidays we have enjoyed and for the precious time spent with family and friends. Lord, we praise You for the opportunity we have to learn and grow at Heathdale and that we can pursue our God-given potential.
We commit this year to You. We pray that new friendships will blossom, old friendships will strengthen and that 2024 will be a year of great academic, personal, and spiritual growth. We pray for safety for all our families and that everyone will feel they belong in this great community. We pray for our teaching and support staff and for our leadership team. We ask that Your gracious hand will be over them as they educate and care for the students and their families.
Lord, this year we ask that you bless us and keep us. That Your radiant face will shine down upon us and be gracious to us. We ask that You turn Your attention towards us and give us Your peace.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
