No Faith in Humanity
Dear Lord, as Christian teachers work among lost students, staff, and others, we encounter increasing faithlessness in the world. We are surrounded by those who lie or are two-faced and cannot be trusted. Others are filled with ugly pride, oppressing and excluding others. We turn to You because You alone can save us during these trials. As we sometimes fear the worst, You can save us from our imaginations. Help us, Lord, to honor You with the meditations of our hearts.
The Faithfulness of God
Meanwhile, Lord, in Your faithfulness, You hear the call of the poor and needy and You arise. You provide the safety we long for as we call on You with surrendered hearts. Praise You for the certainty of Your promises. Your words are pure, Lord – glowing embers of hope that we can carry in our minds, currently engaging us in the blessings of eternity amidst our struggles. Let each teacher be encouraged and praise You, for You will keep us. You will guard us from a godless generation. Though the odds seem to be against us, with evil on every side and sin exalted among the people, You are Mighty. Lord, lift our hearts and minds to You as we continue in the mission field of our schools for “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You” (Is 26:3). In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen. (Psalm 12; Ps 19:14; 2 Chron 7:14; 2 Kings 6: 8-12 esp. v17)
