A TEACHERS PRAYER Generous and ever loving God You have entrusted me with this great responsibility of moulding

not just the mind, but the whole person of the young people under my care. Thank you for helping me grow and develop as an educator. This is an important mission to which You have called me. Help me to remember this when I am tired of writing my lesson plans, preparing my visual materials, thinking of my teaching strategies and following up my students behaviour and performance. Help me to be patient. Keep me always healthy and calm and may I never be annoyed with students who need special attention in class or who do not seem to be interested in my lesson. Grant me the wisdom to learn new ideas, methods and techniques to make my lesson more fruitful and meaningful. May I be filled with your Holy Spirit to make me ever joyful and hopeful. May I be a faithful and loving instrument in the building up of your kingdom on earth as I try to follow the example of your Son Jesus Christ, the Greatest Teacher. Amen.
