Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name — We thank You that our university calling invites us to use all our knowledge and skill for Your glory. We pray You will help us and guide us to recast, formulate, and execute academic programs for the redemption and benefit of our students and all of Your creation.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven — We pray that You would inspire us to create academic programs that truly would enact Your kingdom on earth. Help us to build more than things. Help us also to build ideas, shape values, and mold lives that move this earth toward restoration.
Give us this day our daily bread — We humbly ask for continued provision as we seek to recast a robust General Education program. We will need monetary and human resources to complete the task. Additionally, we ask for academic programs that will grow. May they grow in number of students, in influence around the globe, and in lives redeemed.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us — Please forgive us for being often ungrateful for the blessings we have received. We look to some institutions with jealously, and we sin. We look to other institutions, and we puff up with sinful pride because we have more. Lord, help us not only to be receivers of your forgiveness but also agents of your forgiveness to all who would seek to wrong us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil — We pray that our academic programs will educate and enliven both employees and students of LeTourneau University. We pray that the outcomes and growth we hope for will shed light upon every workplace and every nation.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever — God, may our unique educational calling provide dynamic experiences for LeTourneau University to make Your kingdom a reality; bringing due attention to who you are as King.
