A Teacher’s Prayer 11 March, 2008
Posted by Addie in prayer, school, teacher.trackback
Almighty Father, help me to remember
that I work with the most precious material
in the world, the mind of a child.
Help me always tp remember that I am
making a mark upon that mind which
time will never rub out.
Give me patience with those who
refuse to learn. When I have to exercise
discipline, help me to do so in sterness
and yet in love. Keep me from
the sarcastic and biting tongue, and help
me always to encourage and never to
discourage those who are doing their best,
even if that best is not very good.
Help me to help those children not only
to store things in their memories, but
to be able to user their minds, and to think
for themselves, and amidst all the worrying
and irritations and the questions of my job,
help me to remember that the future
of the nation and of the world is in my hands.
This I ask for love’s sake. In Jesus Name
AMEN
I love it - I’m sharing it with all my teacher friends!!
