Prayers for Teachers with Crisis at Home

Thank You, Lord, that You have seen our needs and You are The Great Provider (Gen 22:14), willing and able to meet every need of Your children, past, present, and future. We praise You for answering our prayers and supplying our desires according to Your perfect knowledge (Job 22:22-27). Lord, we thank You that when we see our situations as extreme, You see opportunity (Rom 5:3-5). We know that You never stop working, Lord, so let Your glory be seen in each of our lives when we are facing a crisis at home (Jud 1:25; Rom 8:18).

As we navigate our daily responsibilities at school, help us express humble honesty with staff and students, being wise in our actions and allowing Your power to shine brightest in our weakness (2 Cor 12:9; Pv 11:3; 18:12). Keep our hearts focused on You, strong in hope, and infuse us with supernatural energy to accomplish the work before us, at home, and work (Is 40:31).

We praise You for this mission field, Lord, and that though we cannot see tomorrow, You hold it faithfully in Your hand, dispensing sufficient grace to us, day by day (Pv 19:21; 27:1; Jer 29:11; 2 Cor 12:9). Bless each brother and sister with an awareness of this precious gift as they navigate home responsibilities and decisions. 

When there are countless phone calls, critical decisions, piles of paperwork, and intensely emotional conversations, Father, You are at our sides in all Your glory (Heb 13:5). We pray for You to assure Your children of Your power at work in them and Your presence to comfort them as You exercise Your wisdom over the circumstances of their lives. Lord, bring about Your perfect will in their situation, lavishing Your peace upon each one (Ps 46:1,10-11; 68:28;139). Let us be deeply grateful for all that belongs to our lives – for every high and low because You direct all these things for good and we could not have done without any of them and still have this deeply enjoyed You. Praise You, dear LORD. Amen.
