Creator God, thank you that you are the light of the world, guiding my steps on your path. Help me to recognize every student I teach as your precious child. May you guide me into the most helpful words and actions with your wisdom. Hear my prayer Lord, and help me to teach effectively. May you, the God of all grace, who has called me into eternal glory by Christ Jesus, make me holy, strong and filled with peace. To you be glory and honor, forever and ever. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
