Week Beginning: 14 September 2026 - An Olavian is Honest
Whoever lives honestly will live securely, but whoever lives dishonestly will be found out. Proverbs 10:9
Would you describe yourself as honest? Would others describe you as honest? Why not ask them? Do you consider lying to be dishonest? Why/Why not? How good are you at admitting that you made a mistake? Remember that honesty and trust are linked, if you are not honest people will not trust you.
Put away all dishonesty and speak truthfully to all, for we are all part of one body. Ephesians 4:25
Think of a time when you lied or cheated, why did you do it? Whenever we speak to anyone it should be in a truthful, loving and caring way, Why is that? How did you feel when someone lied to you? Did you do anything about it?

Dear God, Help me always to be truthful to others, and always truthful to myself. May I always do the right thing regardless of who is around me or the comments that are made. May I be someone who others can trust. May I inspire others to be honest in all they do and say. Amen |
Our School Prayer
Eternal God,
Help us through our duty to you
To love our neighbour,
To care for others,
To do our best for and in school,
To work for the common good of our community,
And to care for ourselves as we serve you.
Amen
Additional prayers for difficult times
Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low; that we may rejoice in your comfort knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
