2. A Teacher's Prayer God of Life, you loved me into being and brought me into the community of your church. Now you call me to minister to your children as a teacher. Enlighten my mind with your truth and guide me by the light of faith to seek your holy will. Teach me to use words wisely and to allow you to speak through silence. May I be vulnerable enough to be penetrated by the hungers and longings of those I teach, and strong enough to be their guide and example. Keep me grounded in reality. Through your grace may I learn from those I teach. This I pray in the name of Jesus, in union with your Holy Spirit who dwells in my heart. Amen. A Teacher's Prayer
