A PRAYER FOR A TEACHER OF CHILDREN
Lord, let me be just what they need.
If they need someone to trust - let me be trustworthy.
If they need sympathy - let me sympathize.
If they need love (and they do need love) - let me love in full measure,
Let me not anger easily, Lord, let me just be.
Permit my justice to be tempered by your mercy.
When I stand before them, Lord, let me look strong and good and honest and loving.
And let me be strong and good and honest and loving as I look to them.
Help me counsel the anxious, crack the covering of the shy.
Permit me to teach only the truth.
Help me to inspire them so that learning will not cease at the classroom door.
Let the lessons they learn make their lives fruitful and happy.
And, Lord, let me bring them to you.
Teach them through me to love YOU.
Finally, permit me to learn the lessons They teach.
