Juan Pineda, 15, led the prayer at the end of a Christian karate class at Victory Christian Center in Boca Raton, Fla., recently. He asked God to give the class of 16 a safe week so they could come back for lessons the next Monday.

Indeed. That was how I taught class (only less faith specific). But focus was on "The One, who made all possible".

In this case, the "means justify the ends".
