Worship Wednesday | A Prayer for Educators

Pray with us:

Blessed be our
Educators.

Blessed be our
teachers
and those on call,
and those at home.

Blessed be our
administrators,
and aids
and assistants.

Blessed be our
Educators.

For they carry the weight,
the excitement,
and the uncertainty of
"Back to school!"

Weilding school supplies,
and masks,
and food programs for our most vulnerable children,
they serve our students with strength
and courage and grace.

Blessed be our
Educators.

Bless them with
overflowing patience, 
and the right shoulder to lean on
when they don't feel like they have
enough.

Bless them with calm,
when the burden of educating
during a pandemic
threatens to overwhelm.

Bless them with peace that
passes understanding,
and the unending support of their
communities to sustain them.

Blessed be our
Educators.

God who guides,
encourage us, your Church,
to be a people of blessing.

May we be active participants
in your call to partner with, support
and cheer on

our blessed Educators.

Amen.
