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.

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.

For Christian Teachers

Lord of the Church,
Thank you for providing faithful teachers and professors in our Christian schools. Whether at the elementary, high school, or college level, their role in educating the next generation is pivotal. They don’t merely pass along information, but teach students to think critically and to utilize their wonderfully created minds to discover and understand the universe, the world, and all that is in it.

Additionally – and most importantly – they do all of this while not only modeling their love for Jesus, but also connecting your Word and their faith to everything they learn. Use teachers to strengthen the faith of their students, while challenging them and equipping them to be model citizens who also let the light of their faith shine brightly. As teachers incorporate law and gospel into their lessons and teaching, build up the body of Christ. Bless their classrooms and their ministry, so that they see the fruit of their labors and are encouraged and uplifted by it. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
