Sharing Faith and Blessing Others

Dear Lord, we pray for Christian teachers to have grace and boldness to share their faith with their peers. You, Who are able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to Your power at work within us, are deserving of glory in our lives and we pray that the people around us will glorify You because of Who You Are in us in the workplace (Eph 3:20-21). Let it be the desire of our hearts, and that of all of our brothers and sisters, to testify of Your Lordship in our lives (Acts 10:42) and make Your Light known as John did (John 1:8). Lay it on the hearts of each Christian teacher to share their faith, knowing this is an organic outcome of living a gospel-centered life (Mt 24:14). Remind us that those of us who acknowledge You before others will also be acknowledged before our Father in Heaven (Mat 10:32).

Father, we ask You to gift Your servants with creative and natural ways to share their faith. Remind us to pray for our co-workers and then let them know we have been praying. Encourage us also that, when people know we pray, they often ask us for prayer and this helps their faith journey. Additionally, give us opportunities to share what we’re doing at church – even the smallest mention helps others see our faith. In the course of conversation, guide us to share that God has answered our prayers during stressful times because this glorifies You and allows others to witness our relationship with You.

Lord, we also praise You for the benefits of sharing our faith. Teachers are often isolated in their classrooms and working with many unsaved students. When we open the door to faith conversations with peers, we find out who else is a believer on staff and we can especially pray, encouraging one another in our faith. Also, help us remember that other teachers may be familiar with Christian students we don’t yet know. When they learn that we are believers they will share this truth with students who will also benefit from knowing we are in the body of Christ with them. Thank You that You bind us together as family in our faith and that we are mutually encouraged when we share in the knowledge of Your work in others. “To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by His power (2 Thess 1:11). In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
