Teacher's Prayer

Help me be grateful

For the students who like to learn,

And feel challenge by those, who don't.

Help me be thankful

For the students I love,

And understand those I'm learning to love.

Help me be motivated

By the students who learn to think,

And be committed by those who afraid to.

Help me be gentle

With the students who make mistakes,

And learn to forgive a difficult child.

Help me be calm

In the midst of the violence,

And model self-control in the midst of anger.

Help me be faithful

In the days of discouragement,

And be dedicated to make one child to smile.
