6. Prayers for Energy and Stamina

Slide 6 of 6

Father God,

We pray for the energy and stamina of those who are set to teach this year. We know that teaching is a taxing profession at times, it can wear down even the strongest of souls. Lord, we pray for Your refreshment upon them this year. Please cover them where they feel bare, fill their cups as they pour out so much to young ones, and give them the sustenance only You can provide. We pray Isaiah 40:28-31 over them today: “The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

May this verse prove true in their lives now and in the future. Please remind them that even on the hardest of days, you are there to hold them up and to renew them in such a way that only You can.

In Jesus‘ Name,

Amen

Remember those who know who are in the teaching profession and lift them up in prayer. Ask the Lord how you can support them. Consider writing them notes with prayers, making them care packages, or making them a meal during the first few weeks of school. Remember that your support, prayers, and love will make an impact not only on them, but upon those they teach as well. It is a high honor to teach and a role that profoundly needs support from those around them. Remember that God hears your prayers and will help those you lift up this season.
