DISASTER NURSING
 Prayer before class
Lord and Father of all, Thank you for our teachers, our school and our families. As we gather
together this morning we invite Your Holy Spirit to inspire us, guide us and teach us in
everything that we do today.
Thank you for today. Thank you for ways in which you provide for us all. For Your protection
and love we thank you. Help us to focus our hearts and minds now on what we are about to
learn. Inspire us by Your Holy Spirit as we listen and write. Guide us by your eternal light as
we discover more about the world around us.

Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom! Pour forth
your brilliance upon our dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers us, that of sin
and of ignorance. Grant us a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method
and ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing
ourselves. Guide the beginning of our lesson, direct its progress, and bring it to successful
completion.

We ask all this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
