Scripture:
May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the
dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb.
Deuteronomy 32:2
Prayer:
Lord we pray for teachers who have been teaching for a while. We pray that they’ve created a system that
works for them, and that they continue to grow and evolve to become better
teachers. We pray that they will help
teachers who are younger than them in their career. Give them new insight on how to manage their
classes, students, time, and life. Be a
fence around them and shield them from the temptation to be listless and
indifferent. Encourage their hearts to
continue teaching with the enthusiasm they began their career with. Give them a heart of love, a tongue of
calming truth, a mouth of genuineness, a mind of honesty, hands of tenderness,
and ears of attentiveness. Let them know when to speak, when to listen, and
when to act. Be their guide and compass
as they navigate the school year. Thank
You. Amen.
Go a Step Further:
If you know any mid-career teachers, speak a word of
encouragement in their lives. Also, ask
if they need anything for their classroom and bless them with it.
