Where each child is encouraged to grow intellectually, physically, socially, aesthetically and above all, spiritually.
Heavenly Father,
May this new start be a chance to reconnect with you, the one who holds all things together.
(pause)
I surrender my kids, knowing they are safe in your hands. I pray this year would be one of growth, courage, and joy for them. I pray they would come closer to knowing who you have made them to be.
(name each of your children)
I surrender my own work and hours, allowing you to be my hope, motivation, and reward in all things.
(name your jobs & responsibilities)
I surrender all the things I hope and long for this coming year. I surrender all the things I worry over in these coming months. I pray for help to rest in your perfect timing and care.
(name your hopes & fears)
I surrender my home, and all the moving parts. I pray all the things that demand our time and effort would be given with intentionality and love.
May this year be one I submit fully to you.
Amen
