Prayer offered for May 16, 2019

Christa McAuliffe said: to teach is to touch the future.

Teach us Your ways, gracious God, that we may be open to that same Spirit, who moved in the lives of our teachers, to lead us from unconsciousness to wonder and awe, and the awareness that we too can bring order and beauty into the chaos of our world;

Teach us Your ways with the patience of our teachers, that we may praise You and them for the wondrous gifts we have received- gifts of creativity, of courage, of justice, and human kindness.

Teach us Your ways, that we may deepen our commitment to the healing of our world from the consequences of broken dreams and broken promises. May all we do today bring gladness and hope into the lives of all who look to us for leadership and life.—AMEN.
