Teacher's Prayer

    I just want to share this inspiring prayer for teachers. There are a lot of prayers in the web but I originally read this prayer at the back of my lesson plan. Let me just share this to you. I made a poster of it so that you can post it in your classroom or table.

Teacher's Prayer

I want to teach my students how

To live this life on Earth.

To face it's struggles and it's strife

And to improve their worth.

Not just the lesson in a book

Or how the rivers flow, But how to choose the proper path

Wherever they may go.

To understand eternal truth

And know the 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.

And so I ask your guidance, God,

That I may do my part.

For character and confidence

And happiness of heart.
