A Prayer for Teachers

Giver of all Wisdom and Greatest Teacher of all Teachers,
Look upon our teachers with love.

Grant them the resolve
To nurture our eager minds
And to never give up onus who fall behind

Bless their hearts
For they rejoice when we succeed
And encourage us when we fall

Endow them with gentle patience
For the path of learning is never easy

Kindle a spirit of passion in them
It is the flame that ignites the love of learning in us

Help them to see the potential in each student
Their belief in us means much more than the grade we make

Instill in them a commitment to keep on learning
It shows us to not fear new Knowledge and experiences

Inspire them to touch the future
They influence how big a dream we dream for ourselves

Bless our teachers who have come before
for their work endures to this day

Let the light of Your example shine upon all teachers:

To build up with their words
To love with their mind
To share with their heart

Amen.

September 3 to October 5 is Teachers' Month here in the Philippines. Let us Join the nation in thanking all the teachers who've touched our lives.
