I combined a lot of your ideas together and wanted to focus on the concept that Christ is with us wherever we go.
The next few weeks mark the beginning of a new school year for many students. This is an exciting time, but there is also a lot of nervous energy on that first day. Please be prayer for all of the kids, the parents, and the teachers. They definitely need it!
However, the main message of this image is that wherever your feet take you, the Lord is always nearby. That is true of private school, public school, universities and colleges, and even homeschooling as well. And it doesn't matter if your school isn't "welcoming to Jesus", you will still find His presence all the same.
And the fact that Jesus is with us in school cuts both ways.
Firstly, He is there to give us a spirit of power, and love and sound mind. He gives us courage when we are scared and confidence when we are timid. He hears our cries, our prayers, our burdens, and our stress and takes those prayers directly to the Father even when don't know how to pray. The Lord is near in every situation.
But the second thing to consider, is that if Jesus is with us, then we ought to be a good and faithful representative of Him. If we are believers in Him, then we are also ambassadors for His gospel. When Christ is with us, we ought to act like Christ. For many students, they may never step foot inside a church or have ever read a Bible. Your character and integrity compassion might just be the closest thing some will ever get to experiencing the gospel of Christ.
So, as this school year begins, I encourage you to walk with Christ inside your school. He'll be with you, and you'll be with Him. Be a light that shines in your class, in the lunchroom, and on the bus. And may this be a school year that God is glorified and honored in all that you do or say!
