To Bless Parent/Teacher Relationships

God of Wisdom,
As students make their way back into classrooms, see that they grow this school year in wisdom and in spirit. To help facilitate their growth, please foster a healthy relationship between parents and teachers. When they are on the same page and enjoy healthy communication, students benefit greatly. Give parents the humility to accept responsibility when their children have contributed to creating undesirable learning environments or classroom settings, and make them willing to work with teachers to address any concerns or behavior. Give teachers patience, understanding, and the humility to recognize that certain situations in homes can sometimes adversely affect a student’s ability to engage or participate in learning. Provide ample support for teachers and faculty, and let parents feel heard and listened to in a way that builds trust between them. Remind parents that teachers are trained professionals who are qualified to instruct their children, and give them confidence in their ability to do so. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Those Graduating

God of Wisdom,
Bless the many graduates who are closing out another chapter of their education. Whether they are entering high school, college, pursuing additional degrees, or joining the workforce, may their last level of learning serve them well in the next phase of life. Thank you for the dedication and hard work they put into their studies. Thank you for all of the wise and patient professors, teachers, counselors, and parents who poured into them. Thank you for what you have in store for them in the future. As this stage of their learning gives way to the next, ensure that they never graduate from learning and growing in faith, the most important education there is. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Appreciate Those Who Teach

Dear Lord,
While teachers are certainly worthy of recognition for much longer than just one week of the year, we thank you for the opportunity this week to show our love and support to educators. While the role they play is one of the most essential, it is also one of the most under-appreciated. We have all had memorable teachers over the years who have been instrumental not only in equipping us for life, but also in guiding and directing us along the paths we’ve traveled in life. Bless their labor with patience and a gentle spirit, especially as they instruct students coming from broken homes and dealing with challenging family lives. On top of that, rather than serving as supportive partners, overbearing parents can often make an already draining job even more difficult for teachers. Therefore, Lord, generously provide the resources teachers need to carry out their work well, encourage them daily, surround them with plenty of colleagues and coworkers to cheer them on, and let them feel loved and appreciated for all that they do, not just this week, but always.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
