Prayer
Lord, we offer to you our class today.
We pray that through your Divine Guidance,
we would learn how to listen attentively to the inputs of our teacher.
May we appreciate his/her effort in imparting his/her knowledge to us.
May we participate actively in the discussions and activities, so we could learn more while having fun.
May we value each other’s contributions as a building block towards harmony and peace.
Grant that as we interact with one another, we recognize the fact that all our learning activities should be
accomplished for your greater glory.
Grant that we recognize YOU in each of our classmates and teachers.
As we leave for home, we pray that you keep us safe from harm and illnesses.
And we would be able to apply correctly what we have learned from school.
All these we ask in your powerful name. Amen.
