Prayer for World Teachers Day

 
Gracious God stay with us
with your enabling Spirit,
guiding us as we lead our students
towards your kingdom.
We accomplish in our lifetime
only a fraction of the magnificent work
of your creation.
We lay foundations
that will need further development.
We plant seeds that one day will grow;
we water seeds already planted,
knowing that they hold future promise;
we provide yeast that produces
effects far beyond our capabilities.
This is what we are about.
We cannot do everything
and we feel liberated by this realization.
Our work may be incomplete
but it is a beginning,
a step along the way,
an opportunity for your Grace
to enter and do the rest.
Keep us faithful to your mandate
to love and serve others
as your son Jesus has taught us.
Amen.
