Blessing of Schoolbags Prayer

Lord, we thank you for your goodness to all your children.

Be with these children throughout this new school year.

May your blessing be upon these schoolbags,

Which the children will carry to and from school each day.

Watch over the children in their coming and their going;

Keep them safe always; help them to be kind;

Bless their learning and their play.

Enfold them at all times in your love.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
