A Classroom Prayer for 8th Grade English

After reading all of the prayers you created in your writers' notebooks and adding the wisdom of Tom Stoppard, here is what I came up with for our class prayer:

Dear Lord,

Your Word is sacred and all words are sacred when we use them for good. Words deserve our respect because if you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little. May we nudge the world in ways that show courage and compassion, that help us make right choices, and that bring us together in the spirit of encouragement and respect for our classmates, our community, and the world. 

Amen.
