Teacher’s Prayer
​
Gracious and Loving Father
We thank and praise you for the blessing of this new day. Help us to remember the greatness of the work which has been entrusted to us. Help us always to remember that we work with the most precious material in the world, the mind of a child. Enable us to understand that through our words and deeds, we are making marks upon that mind which time will never rub out.

Lord of Wisdom
Each time before we face our class, bless and assist us to understand each child and to see in him a precious soul, most dear, and may we lead that child through paths of truth and wonder, not of fear
