Scriptures for back-to-school

Scriptures for back-to-school can help us manage the stress of getting the kids ready for a new year. Let's face it. We can use the help. Getting ready to head back to school was always a challenging time growing up. My husband and I made sure that it was different for our kids. We did our best to get them excited about school. We divided shopping duties in a "divide and conquer method" that worked. Our stress level improved but it was still there. If you have +kids, then you already know what I'm talking about. It's not easy raising kids and +Back-to-School can be a tough time. Now (perhaps more than ever) kids need +Parents who can stand by them and be supportive. Grounding ourselves in the word can help with that. Are you looking for scriptures to meditate on that will help you better prepare for +school? These may help.

We each have our favorite version of the Bible. I'm listing only the +Scripture references. You can look them up in your favorite Bible or on one of the search engines.

Hebrews 13:5, Jeremiah 29:11, Philippians 4:6,7
