A liturgy for teaching your first class.
As I prepare to stand before a room of the next generation, I ask for Your presence to be near
May I remember all You have done to bring me here
All the mountains and valleys
Twists and turns
I thank You, for Your plans are perfect
As I prepare to stand before a room of the next generation, I ask for Your presence to be near
May my words be Your words
Steeped with grace, kindness, and hope
Sweeter than honey
I thank You, for your words have given me life
As I prepare to stand before a room of the next generation, I ask for Your presence to be near
May I have vision to see them like You do
Hungry for Love and Purpose
People whom you cherish
I thank You, for You know each one deeply
As I prepare to stand before a room of the next generation, I ask for Your presence to be near
May Hope overflow when I step foot in the room
For how beautiful it is to build bridges of friendship
Through learning and growing together
I thank You, for You teach me the path of life
As I prepare to stand before a room of the next generation, I ask for Your presence to be near
May anxieties and strivings cease
Meet me here, the One who calms the seas
Quiet me with Your Love
I thank You, for You are not far from any one of us
As I prepare to stand before a room of the next generation, I ask for Your presence to be near
May I walk in a manner worthy of You
A picture of love, patience, gentleness
Sweet fruits of the vine
I thank You, for Your well never runs dry
As I prepare to stand before a room of the next generation, I ask for Your presence to be near
May You do more
Than I could ask or imagine
With this time, this heart, this life that is wholly Yours
I thank You, for You are before all things, and in You all things hold together
As I prepare to stand before a room of the next generation, I ask for Your presence to be near
May I remember all You have done to bring me here
All the mountains and valleys
Twists and turns
I thank You, for Your plans are perfect
