A Prayer for Science Teachers

Our Father, we praise You for the privilege of new beginnings.  Thank You for letting us peek into Your creation and explore Your handiwork.  Thank You for the secrets You share with Science Teachers and Students.

Enable us to walk with integrity into the opportunities You lay before us.  As we work out of our humanity, teach us to admire the accomplishments of others without envying their acclaim, to follow the example of leaders without belittling their discoveries, to praise the ingenuity of the creative without distracting them with flattery, to lead the learner without manipulating the mind, and to grow wise through reflection, experience and service.

Keep our hearts fresh and our minds open to the possibilities of growth through which You may choose to stretch us.

Help us to handle Your insight with wisdom so that we can honor You in all our ways, for we recognize that we abide in Your kingdom, under Your power, for Your glory.  Amen.
