Almighty God,
Prepare my heart and mind for the children who come to me. May this classroom be a laboratory for Your reign in this world. Bring glimpses of heaven to this corner of earth. Inspire me into creative experiments of love, compassion, service, humility and wisdom. Let the fear and knowledge of You flow organically from my words, gestures and presence. Oh, that we may discern the truth about Your world in the midst of a cachopony of voices from all over the political spectrum. Empower me with spontaneous energies, breaking out of the routine of day-to-day life on this campus. Liberate me from the daily grind of attention-seeking teens and my own longing to be admired. Let me be a gentle, humble, consistent, confident, non-anxious leader. Give me the audacity to carry around the death of the crucifed and risen Jesus so that the life of Jesus may shine the New Reality through me.
Amen.
