Teacher's Prayer

I just came across this prayer at The Homeschool Classroom. As I pray daily to make the right decisions for my children and our family, this prayer really hit home for me.

Teacher's Prayer

I want to teach my students how

To live this life on earth

To face its struggles and its strife

And to improve their worth.

Not just the lesson in a book

Or how the rivers flow

But, how to chose the proper path

Wherever they may go.

To understand eternal truth

And know right from wrong

And gather all the beauty of

A flower and a song.

For if I help the world to grow

In wisdom and in grace

Then I shall feel that I have won

And I have filled my place.

So I ask your guidance God

That I may do my part

For character and confidence

And happiness of heart.
