Let Us Pray for Our Board Members

Heavenly Father, You are our gracious God and we lift up our hearts to you in prayer and thanksgiving for all of your many mercies toward Cary Christian School throughout the past months and years. Be with our board as they guide and guard the mission of this school, discerning  and preparing for its future. We pray that you will give each board member the wisdom to discuss important issues fully and to make decisions wisely. We lift each member of staff to you and each child as well as every member of the board, and ask for your continued blessing over each and every life and that they would seek your wisdom and guidance, courage and strength in all issues and areas that touch their lives. Keep us ever humble before your throne and give us the integrity to stand up for what we believe, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
