Lord Jesus, as we marvel at your words and works, we pray that by the power of the gospel you would bless all who study and meditate upon your Word. Strengthen the faith of all those who are enrolled at our Lutheran schools. Let your hand of blessing be upon the faculty and students of Great Plains Lutheran High School, and grant increasing opportunities to work with families and students in the year to come. May we all faithfully follow you, the light of the world. Work through us as ambassadors of your grace, that many more may know and cling to you, the light of life. Amen.
