The Advocates Prayer

Lord, put the right thoughts in my heart, the right words on my tongue. Let me be silent when I need to be. Help me to apologize when I have been wrong. Remind me that I am not in control...You are. Help me to remember that every person at this meeting was made by You and is loved by You. Each team member has value and worth. Each team member has a mother and a father, is a husband or wife, a mom or a dad, or grandparent, and is loved by someone else. I pray for each school member, Lord. Instead of being an obstacle, remind them of why they became an educator, therapist or administrator in the first place. Rekindle in them a helpful heart and a desire to do what is right by this child. Rekindle in them their love of children and give them the courage and confidence to make the right decisions today. While listening to what is happening in the meeting, let me be attentive to your whisper and be obedient to your direction. Let me feel the peace that comes from knowing you are in control. Let me have courage when I am not able to speak. I pray for wisdom throughout the entire process. Let me be a reflection of your love and understanding. Amen.
