Many of us head back to school soon. I found this online sometime during the long gray winter days when the idea of one more indoor recess feels like a death sentence, and I needed all of the help that I could get.
A Teacher's Prayer
Lord, let me be just what they need.
If they need someone to trust, let me be trustworthy.
If they need sympathy, let me sympathize.
If they need love ( and they do need love), let me love, in full measure.
Let me not anger easily Lord, but let me be just.
Permit my justice to be tempered in your mercy.
When I stand before them, Lord, let me look strong and good and honest and loving.
And let me be as Strong and good and honest and loving as I look to them.
Help me to counsel the anxious, crack the covering of the shy, temper the rambunctious with
a gentle attitude.
Permit me to teach only the truth.
Help me to inspire them so that learning will not cease at the classroom door.
Let the lessons they learn make their lives fruitful and happy.
And Lord, let me bring them to you
Teach them thorough me to love You.
Permit me to learn the lessons they teach
