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.
