DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

For Those Training Future Pastors and Teachers

Dear Jesus,
Thank you for the educational institutions responsible for training current and future generations of called workers. You have blessed so many congregations and classrooms with those who have been trained in our academically challenging and doctrinally faithful ministerial education schools. Provide the continued financial support and resources to allow these institutions to function and serve for many generations to come. 

Thank you also for the professors and teachers devoted to training and equipping future pastors and teachers. Reward them for their faithful work and bless them by allowing them to see the fruit of their labor as those who once sat in their classrooms end up teaching in classrooms and preaching from pulpits of their own. Establish solid and supportive relationships between colleagues, accompanied by the joint desire to grow spiritually and professionally in their ministry. Lead their students to respect them and be eager to learn from them both academically and through their personal ministry experience. Fulfill them in their callings and make them aware of the difference they are making not only in the lives of their students, but also in your kingdom.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

For Christian Schools

Lord God,
Thank you for schools that provide a Christian Education. When congregations are able to offer elementary schools as a part of their ministry, both the congregation and the community are richly blessed. The standards are high and the flexibility of curriculum choices allows them to avoid certain controversial content. However, there is no greater benefit than Jesus that Christian schools are able to offer. To nurture and equip not just the mind, but also hearts of faith provides an eternal reward to students. For high schools and colleges that allow students to continue on this path of spiritual instruction, thank you. 

Through these schools, your impact often goes beyond the student into the home, so I pray that your Spirit stretches his reach into the hearts of not just students in school, but their families as well. And, because teaching young minds is no small task, I also ask that you equip teachers and professors in these schools with patience, wisdom, and compassion for their students. Let your light shine brightly in them, so that they put the love of Jesus on display for their students and other faculty members to see. Continue to use Christian schools to build up your church and equip believers for this life and the next.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
