Know the Truth and Teach it Well

Joy Bennett

Lord, we praise You that Your Word is truth and You are unable to lie. We thank You for Your holy perfection and eternal commitment to leading Your people to faith and salvation.

Lord, for each Christian teacher, let us commit to knowing Your truth and teaching it for the sake of Your elect and their knowledge of the truth. Guide each of Your people who work in schools to be sold out for You and committed to creating opportunities to share the truth of Who You Are with their students. May the students clearly see Christ in each of us and desire an eternal relationship with You because of Your grace at work within our lives. We specifically ask that You help us plan our lessons, words of encouragement, classroom management plans, and each interaction to reflect Your truth, values, and commands. Work in our hearts so that we are fully convinced and prepared to point our students to the plumbline of Your Word and commands by our own proper adherence to Your standards. Change the hearts of our children to seek You and serve You all their days.  In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Titus 1:1-3

Praise God for His Excellence

Lord God, we thank You for Your moral goodness, virtue, and uprightness. Regardless of our blindness, we know You are perfect and worthy of our highest praise and adoration.

Prayer for Peace as We Think About God’s Character

Dear Lord, we come to You in humility, hungry for the truth of Who You Are: The Great I Am. We want to show the world Your glory in our classrooms and in our relationships with others. Help us keep our minds on Your all-knowing character so that we call on You for wisdom as we plan our lessons and interact with our students. Encourage our hearts by Your eternal nature so that we rest in You who remain King forever, and guide us to give You appropriate glory with all of our decisions. Lead us to cling to Your Word, the standard for truth. You have spoken, You are the only true God, and we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true. Keep us resting in this knowledge.

Lord, we also ask that we can view You as God Most High, exalting You and Your faithful love over all trouble, imaginations, and fears. Let us sing of Your righteousness and give You the glory You deserve. As we look to You, let us be happy in You, our Creator, who helps Your people and controls every earthly power. We know all things were created for Your glory and we can trust You when we don’t see earthly leaders acting with godly justice. Give us minds to think about Your incredible, self-existence. You are loyal to Your entire character and this gives us hope. Lead us beside the still waters of rest in our knowledge of You: the Great I Am, Who makes the dark as light and guides Your people in paths of peace.

Praise You for Your grace to Your people Lord. We are comforted by our adoption to You through Jesus. Your excellence far outweighs our ability to comprehend it.  In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
