OCTOBER PRAYERS
of
Grade 3 Class



In our school, each class takes turns reading the prayer on the intercom each day. Sometimes the prayers are chosen from books, and sometimes the prayers are written by the students themselves.

Sister Henrietta visits our school each Tuesday. She taught us that prayers should have 4 parts:

- Praise
- Thanks
- Request
- Action

The following are the first prayers written by our class, this school year. We wrote these together, then students were chosen to read them on the intercom for the week of October 22-26, 2001

Creator,
Help the world to have peace and harmony.

Prayer To End The Week

O loving family in heaven above,
You watch down on us from above, and you keep your loving hearts with us each day. You try and guide us safely through each day and each week, by helping us to make choices that are wise, respectful, and caring of others.

We know you understand when we don't hear you speaking to us, trying to help us. We ask your forgiveness, and we promise to try harder to be listening for your help. We do need you close to us.

Thank you for our many blessings that we see, and for all the blessings that we don't see.

Thank you for helping us to share our many talents and gifts with each other.

With your help, we are stronger.
Together, we are strongest.

Let each breath we take and each choice we make...be one that will make you proud of us, here on earth.
Amen
