Back To School Prayer of a Teacher-Mom

Say it ain’t so

Where did the summer go?

Is it really time for back to school?

Oh why, oh why

Is the end of summer so cruel?

No more pjs until noon

That alarm bell is gonna ring so soon

My brain is still in a summer haze

Not ready for the morning craze

Help me Lord to have the strength

To get us to school on time

And give me the patience of a saint

To ignore my child’s morning whine

Help me pack the lunches

Do my morning crunches

Check for stinky breath

While quizzing for that morning test

Protect us as we drive to school

Remind me Lord to keep my cool

But if I should lose it in the drop-off lane

Forgive me Lord some moms drive insane

But Lord most importantly

Come to school with me

Fill me with your Spirit daily

Give me your eyes so I may see

Where your love needs to be

Help me hide your Word inside my heart

So that your Good News I may impart

Amen
