Some years ago, for some reason, Jane Henegar said, someone at Girls Preparatory School asked her to deliver a prayer at the first faculty meeting of the year.
“Maybe it was because I’m always in need of prayer,” she said, “but I considered it a great blessing.”
Henegar’s carefully crafted prayers became a tradition for much of the 30 years she taught there.
A former colleague, Sara Gahan, thought so much of the petitions that she gathered them into a book and self-published it.
“Praying Life,” which also was the name of the weekly noon prayer gatherings Henegar had with other teachers, is 60 pages in length and is available in hardback or softcover at Girls Preparatory School.
