Prayer For Faculty Meeting
Heavenly Father, we come to you today asking for your guidance, wisdom, and support as we begin this meeting. Help us to engage in meaningful discussion; allow us to grow closer as a group and nurture the bonds of community. Fill us with your grace, Lord God, as we make decisions that might affect the students, staff, faculty, alumni and friends of Saint Louis University. And continue to remind us that all that we do here today, all that we accomplish, is for the pursuit of truth for the greater glory of You, and for the service of humanity. We ask these things in your name, Amen.
Lord, as we plan and share together now, may you guide us by your Holy Spirit and lead us into all truth. Lord, as we go into this meeting, we place ourselves before You, for You are filled with the beauty and light and care deeply about us. ... May Your Spirit guide us. May Your grace abound in is.
Loving heavenly Father, We come to you this hour asking for your blessing and help as we are gathered together. We pray for guidance in the matters at hand and ask that you would clearly show us how to conduct our work with a spirit of joy and enthusiasm. Give us the desire to find ways to excel in our work.
Almighty God,
Your truth is like light showing us the way to live our lives.

being. We thank you for meaningful work to do and the opportunities we have to teach
and to transform the lives of students that you have placed within our sphere of influence.
