Teachers’ Servant Mindset

Featured Joy Bennett

Thank You, Lord, for setting the supreme example of servanthood by Your sacrifice for our sins. You lovingly gave us everything You had, including Your life, so that we could be with You forever. You alone are deserving of our worship and praise, Father. Thank You for such compassion, mercy, and provision.

We pray for the Christian teachers You have put in each position of service, asking for Your power to be at work in our lives. As teachers, we experience many demands on our time and talents but let us be servants of You for the sake of Your chosen people and their knowledge of the truth. The world tempts us to be servants of men, but You have called us to keep our minds set on You and Your purposes.  Let us be free from the fear of man and strong in our trust in You, God Almighty.

We pray that You guide us to submit to Your will and Your ways as we serve others in Your Name. May our strength come from You alone, not from exceeding effort on our parts.  Give us the ability and commitment to obey You as we act in our positions as servants for Your kingdom and, in our obedience, may You be honored above all else. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen

From Strength to Strength

Praise the Lord of Hosts

Dear Lord, we praise You for being The LORD of hosts, the God of all armies, the living God Almighty. You are powerful and faithful, unchanging and holy.  How lovely it is to dwell with You in this life and through eternity.

Prayer for Strength and Refreshment

We pray for teachers everywhere today to desire You above all things. For those who call You Lord, we pray their souls seek You in Your Word and that their hearts and flesh will sing for joy because of Who You Are in their lives. Let every teacher cling to You, knowing that even the sparrow finds a home by Your power and that You have confirmed we are of much more worth to You. Lavish Your blessings upon those who dwell in Your house, ever singing Your praise, because we are so richly blessed when our strength is in You and our hearts are focused on Your ways.

Lord, we praise You for Your promises because teaching requires us to pour our energy and strength into the lives of others, leaving us dry, and in need of Your power and renewal. But You say that Your people will go through these experiences, making them places of springs and experiencing refreshing rain to cover their needs with pools. We go from strength to strength, appearing before You to receive Your blessings. Keep us near to You, Lord, God of hosts. You listen to our prayers and You, alone meet the needs of Your people. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.
