IPSHA Prayer
Written by Reverend Geoffrey Grimes
God of all wisdom, we acknowledge your presence with us today.
We seek the inspiration of your spirit and the light of your understanding to guide us.
We thank you for those who have contributed and will contribute to the fellowship and the vision of this Association, in times past, at present and in the future.
We bring before you the deliberations of our meeting that we might be attentive to your leading and courageous in our following.
Young minds are so innocent; give us the wisdom to meet their needs.
Young hearts are so vulnerable; give us the love to embrace their uncertainties.
Young lives are so precious; give us the patience to treasure them.
Young Spirits are so fragile; give us the joy of seeing them grow.
May we, and all who serve you in the calling of education, bring to this great challenge the resources that only you can provide.
We ask this in your name,
AMEN.
