Hunger for Righteousness
***
Lord, bless her with a hunger for righteousness, peace and contentment.
Show her the strength in forgiveness and how to let go of resentment.
Refresh her with dreams and visions, teeming with hope that grows.
Let her smile and radiance be the main focus in her demeanor that shows.
Lead her to be gentle and generous,
answer her questions with your counsel, so that she doesn’t have to guess.
Thank you for leading her to share the great news,
because that’s how we are best used!
This year, help her to thrive in 5th grade,
and may her enthusiasm never fade.
