Blessed: Theme and Verse for the 2025-26 School Year
This year, our theme and verse will be “Blessed,” drawn from Jeremiah 17:7: “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him.”
We will celebrate God’s goodness as we reflect on all the ways He has already blessed us. We will consider the responsibilities that come with our blessings, and we will wrestle with the times when we do not immediately see God moving—learning to recognize His work even in the midst of struggle and pain.
We live in a world where blessing is often measured by what we can see—how much we have, how much we achieve, or how many people notice. Scripture points us in a different direction. True blessing is not found in what we can accumulate, but in Jesus.
Throughout life, we will face seasons of abundance and seasons of hardship. There are moments—like sitting peacefully by the water—when God’s goodness feels obvious. And there are moments—like grieving a heartbreaking loss—when His goodness feels harder to find. Yet the same grace that carries us through joy also sustains us through pain. Blessing isn’t about avoiding trials; it’s about having an anchor in the midst of them.
Trusting God redefines how we view everything—our possessions, our success, our struggles, even ourselves. It’s easy to hunger after temporary things: approval, possessions, achievements. But Jesus invites us to hunger and thirst for something greater—righteousness. When our desires align with His, we find a satisfaction that no temporary blessing can offer.
Humility, mercy, purity, peace—these are the unexpected pathways to blessing that Jesus outlines in the Beatitudes. And each one requires trust:

Trust that humility is stronger than pride.
Trust that showing mercy will lead to receiving mercy.
Trust that keeping our hearts pure matters more than building our brand.
Trust that making peace is more powerful than winning an argument.
God’s blessings are often quiet. They grow in the hidden places of our lives, much like a seed buried in good soil. Faith dares to plant even when outcomes are uncertain. Faith steps forward, trusting that God is doing more than we can see.
As we move through seasons of success and struggle, gain and loss, the key to living a blessed life is not holding tighter to control—it’s rooting ourselves deeper in trust. Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, who make Him their source of strength, wisdom, and joy.
When we trust Him fully, we find that the greatest blessing isn’t what God gives—it’s God Himself.
We are blessed.
We are called.
We are Warriors.
