Teacher's PrayerLord in heaven, help me never to forget the beauty in a little child.
Never let me forget the wonder and trust and yearning in their bright, twinkling eyes.
Help me to remember that I am shaping the lives of tomorrow's generation.
And, though I am unworthy of this precious charge, give me the strength to be the best model scholar and the best Christian example that I can possibly be.
Give me love to overcome adversity.
Give me patience to overcome trials.
Give me wisdom to overcome my shortcomings.
Give me faith to overcome dark hours.And, as I find my rest tonight, help me to love my pupils and to remember them in my prayers.
Give me strength to be equal to tomorrow's task, for I depend on you alone, just as my pupils depend on me.
