Lord Jesus, as we prepare for the coming of a new semester, make us ready, attentive and available to hear you. Thank You for the gift of being able to rise each day with the assurance that You walk through it with us. Thank You for the gifts of creativity and uniqueness, and the energy to put them to good use.
Allow us to experience Your presence in the many blessings You put before us. Open our eyes to the new challenges and exciting opportunities that this new semester brings. Open our heart and mind to new friends and new professors. Give us a generous spirit to be enthusiastic with our studies and courage to accept new opportunities. Help us to be attentive to our professors and let us experience Your presence in our new friends. Jesus, inspire us to do our best this year!
Amen
