A Prayer for your Grandchildren and their Teachers

Our grandchildren have returned to school. Ask them how they are adjusting to their new teacher, classmates sometimes a new school.
Here is a prayer for your grandchildren and teacher.
Ask your grandchildren the name of their teacher so you can pray for the teacher by name. If possible, meet their teacher.
