Day 18: Seasoned Teachers


Scripture:
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58

Prayer:
Lord we pray for seasoned teachers.  They’ve worked a long time educating students.  We pray that You give them a renewed energy and excitement to teach the students.  Let them mentor younger teachers.  Let them continue to be a guide for students.  Give them new insight on how to be an encouragement to all who they meet at their school.  If they are nearing retirement, let them have everything they need to retire.  Give them financial security so that they can retire when they want to do so.  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 a seasoned teacher, speak a word of encouragement in their life.  Also, thank them for their years of service.
