Prayer of a Teacher Watching Over Her Care Corner Kids
LOVING GOD ~
Please let me be just what they need.
I am so blessed to have one year with them.
Please let me make it count.
If they need someone to trust, let me be trustworthy.
If they need love (and all kids need love),
let me love them with my whole heart
...and let them be sure of my love.
When I stand before them, Lord,
help me to be good and strong and kind and full of faith.
Let them see that in me.
Help me to see the special need in each child.
Help me to calm the anxious child;
help me to gain the confidence of the shy child;
help me to guide the busy child;
help me to “giggle” the serious child’;
help me to heal the hurting child;
help me to hope the doubting child.
Help me to know each need.
Help me to help these precious children you’ve entrusted to my care.
Help me to nurture them to be joyful Care Corner Kids.
Help me to encourage them to be eager learners.
Help me to strengthen them to see their amazing worth.
Help me to inspire them to be the best little Christians they can be.
Help me bring their minds closer to wisdom;
their hearts closer to you
and their lives closer to walking with Jesus.
Thank you for the honor of teaching your children and, mostly,
thank you for the honor of letting them teach me.
AMEN
