Lord in Heaven, help me never to forget the beauty in a little child.
Never let me forget the wonder and trust and yearning in their bright, twinkling eyes.
Help me to remember that I am shaping the lives of future generations.
And though I am unworthy of this precious charge, give me the the strength to be the best model scholar and the best Christian example that I can possible be.
Give me love to overcome adversity.
Give me patience to overcome trials.
Give me wisdom to overcome my shortcomings.
Give me faith to overcome my dark hours.
And...
