A Teacher’s Prayer


Grace and majesty

Praise and adoration

Belong to THE LORD ALMIGHTY

In humbleness and sincerity

I come before Your Holy Throne

Hear my words as they fall onto this page

From my soul through my fingertips

Echoes of Your mercy are everywhere I look

A newborn babe takes his first breath

A toddler raises their hands during a worship song

A three year-old sings Jesus Loves Me

A four year-old begins to pray as the whole room grinds to a hault

Amazed by the prayer this child prays

A five year-old gets baptized

And a six year-old leads her siblings in prayer before bed

A mother stands with tears in her eyes

As she sees her children’s faith grow

I too, have seen these things occur in the hearts of children

And my heart grows ever more with compassion

To teach and reach these little ones

For if we have the faith of a child

We can move mountains

Consider this day how you will reach them

As for me I will continue to mentor, teach and pray

For these little ones for such is the Kingdom of Heaven
