Dear Lord, we pray for every Christian teacher who is experiencing distress. Classroom environments as well as work with staff periodically place us in difficult circumstances. At times we feel confined but we need You to speak truth to each one of us. We can rest assured that You are in charge, even in tough situations. Remind us that it is good that You reveal our limitations and simultaneously prove Your limitless abilities. No person or problem can separate us from the love of Christ (Rom 8:35,37-39). For those experiencing distress due to their own sin, Lord I pray that You reveal their sin to them, bring them to repentance, and let them experience freedom and joy again.
Lord, let Your Word provide renewal for the minds of every Christian teacher. Let each one wait on You and renew their strength, mounting to new heights as an eagle with great wings (Is 40:31). Lord, You allow the difficult things that come into each of our lives but also give us the grace to honor You in obedience as we navigate each moment, running and not growing weary, walking for the distance but not growing faint. In this strength that You provide, Lord, let us glorify You in our classrooms and prepare the hearts of our students by leading them to truth by our example.
Lord, we pray for the times when our jobs seem unachievable and we feel remorse because we cannot bring each student to the place of learning we want for them. In these times, remind each of us that You cause all things to work together for good to those who love You and who are called according to Your purpose. When life’s varying situations appear to be moving backward, let us trust that You are causing even the difficult things to work for good (Rom 8:28).
Finally, Lord, for those who are considering moving from their current position because the stress has overwhelmed them, we pray for wisdom, discernment, discretion, good judgment, and self-control. We pray that You create a space for them to continue to serve You for Your glory and that You lead them to glorify You as they make decisions. May You be honored and glorified in the lives of our Christian teachers, Lord. Amen.
