Bible Verses for a New School Year
In short
A new school year brings excitement and pressure for students and parents alike. Scripture says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, that God gives wisdom generously to any who ask, and that we can face what is new with courage because He goes with us. 'If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God.'
As classes begin again, these verses steady anxious students, ask God for wisdom and courage, and set the whole year before Him.

A word for this moment
Grades and achievements are not the measure of a life. Work hard, ask God for wisdom, be kind to others, and remember your worth is anchored in Him, not in any report card.
On The Living Bread you can read these passages in full, save them, ask Simon what they mean, and be prayed for by name by a real community. You are welcome exactly as you are.
