Almighty Father, we bless Thee for children, for youth, and for all who fill our institutions of learning. Reveal to them the glory and beauty of life. Enable them to rise to their opportunities. we implore Thy blessing, O God, on all the men and women who teach the youth of our community. May they revere the young lives which have newly come from Thee. Gird these teachers for the task, and save them from loneliness, discouragement, the numbness of routine, and all bitterness of heart. In all things draw us to the mind of the Great Teacher, in whose name we pray. Amen.
John Malcus Ellison 1961
FATHER GOD in the Mighty name of JESUS, please to not allow bitterness to set in the hearts of the teachers that are about to lose their jobs. Help them to think outside of the box and start private schools; go out into home schooling; open tutoring centers; Let them come together and pool their funds and resources and come up with a better and more powerful ways of teaching our children; exposing them to higher learning that they would not get in the regular school system. AMEN!!!
