A Prayer For All Involved in Education During Coronavirus
Jesus, you are the Great Teacher and all truth is your Truth. We thank you for continually instructing us, that we might be set free. All of our learning and knowledge comes from you and belongs to you. Today we offer you our best. Many of us are terrified as we learn how to teach and to learn online, and others of us to help homeschool our children. Grant us the wisdom we need to learn these new skills. Grant access to necessary technology for the poor and marginalized. Help us to be patient and encouraging to one another, and to ourselves. Be with us and teach us, Jesus.
Amen.
