For the President, and for those who teach.

Dear God,

Your followers referred to you as their teacher, and still you teach us today. You teach us how to love, and whom to love: yourself first, and through that love for you, loving our neighbors. Be with the senators making decisions tonight about confirming an authority over those who will teach. Be with President Trump-- I pray that our country will learn from him in ways that honor you. That we will learn to be better citizens under his authority. That we will not be passive. That we will take on our own responsibility for teaching in the areas of our lives where we teach.

Help us to learn more and more your truth and your grace.

In the name of the great teacher,
Amen
