Holding Teachers in High Regard

Our school teachers – bless their hearts – are facing tough times. Teaching has always been a demanding, underpaid profession, but today’s teachers are navigating the threat of school shootings, a pandemic, and political interference in their lesson plans. "I’ve held a lot of crying teachers in my arms,” said Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association. “They are overwhelmed."
“Teachers are the most important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth.” - Helen Caldicott, Australian physician
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I hold those who teach in high regard, just as the Divine does every time they answer the bell. May our teachers have the resources, energy, and respect that allow them to do their holy work with success and joy. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
