Our heavenly Father, we come before you today with humble

hearts and with gratefulness for all the wonders and blessings
You have showered upon us. We thank You Father for
sustaining us from the first days of preparation up to this time
of the day. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be in this
momentous event wherein we can recognize the hard work
and dedication of this year’s recipients. As we honor each
name, help us to remember all glory belongs to you. Colossians
3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as
working for the Lord. As we observe the many
accomplishments of our honorees, we acknowledge that none
of it would be possible without you, thus this Pasidungog is all
about You and in Honor of you. Help us always to remember to
do everything with a grateful heart and keep our focus on you.
We consider this opportunity as a chance of being with the
Regional and Division Office leaders, LGU official, school
heads, teachers and non-teaching personnel as we
productively end this year. Thank you for the organizers and
facilitators whom you have planted the desire and fervor to
hold such gratifying event which enables everyone to recollect
what we’ve accomplished this year.

Father, this occasion is indeed one of those things we will take

with us as we live our lives ahead. This exposure is not about
the plaques and certificates we will be receiving at the end of
the day, nor about the one who emerged as the best. This is
about the great opportunity to be blessed by You and the
chance to be dubbed as one of God’s bests. This is also about
the character honed in us as a public servant. Truly, discipline,
perseverance, and the determination to excel are instilled in
us abundantly. This is not about ranking one’s self among
bests, but this is about the humble heart of a person who is
able to see how blessed he is despite the odds and difficulties
along the way. Lord, we acknowledge that everything comes
from You – the God who orchestrates every second of our lives
so perfectly because of His great love for us. All the praises,
awards, and accolades that we will receive today are meant to
be given back to You. It is because of Your grace and Your
guidance that we have come this far. Whatever is set before
us, we give all the glory back to You.

Once again, we praise You and we thank You for the several
months of successful events You have prearranged for us
Father. Continue to bless each and every one of us as we
commence the last phase of this race which is set before us.
Equip us with Your wisdom and humility as we do our best for
You. All of these we pray in the sweetest and mighty name of
our Christ Jesus. Amen.
