Many schools are filled with high levels of anxiety and trauma - due to increases in school violence, students' lack of respect for others and classroom interruptions during instruction. Teachers face unprecedented challenges in the classroom: students’ mental health struggles, students’ learning loss from remote learning caused by Covid-19, and so much more. Teachers also face real-life personal issues just like everyone else and these burdens don’t disappear when they go to work. At school ...

Are you feeling like you just need one more cup of coffee, a perfect night's sleep, or an extra day off? Teachers everywhere can fall into the trap of thinking they can power through stress by pushing themselves harder. What if the key to feeling recharged isn't just about squeezing more into your already overflowing plate? Maybe God has a differen…

Think of each and every child in your classroom: what piece of God’s heart sits there as the children take their seats? Seeing children as pieces of God’s heart is such a powerful and humbling vision. The call to teach is a sacred calling, and this sacredness flows from the connection our gift has to children. God cherishes His children, and in car…

Waiting is probably more frustrating than receiving a clear, firm “no” from God because you can cry about a no for a time and begin the healing process toward closure. The key to waiting well is to realize that God knows best and constantly affirm his good intentions in your mind and heart. That becomes hard when we get stuck rooting for what we wa…

So often we dwell on the past and worry about the future. Each day has promise and opportunity that is made up of moments. Remember to take some time to be present in the here and now. Everything that happens today is important, so enjoy the journey of the next 24 hours and know that God has a role for you to play in His master plan. Maybe this day…

Every day. Every day, you walk through the doors of the school and into your classroom. You walk in with your dreams, disillusionment, joys, and heartaches. You hug your students at the door; you see your colleagues in a meeting; you connect with parents after school. You walk past people in your school each day and wonder if anyone sees you. The r…

A teacher sits at his/her desk at the end of the day. It is one of those days that didn’t go according to plan. Nothing seems to go right. We often write these days off as a loss, but God, through His grace and mercy, can redeem them. There is no such thing as a lost day if we take time to see it through the lens of thankfulness. Instead of focusin…

If God had His way with your schedule, what would your day look like? What would be included? What would be omitted? God has an ordained plan for each day of your life that He wants to reveal to you. Unfortunately, we often get caught up in the “busyness” and challenges of the day and miss that quiet whisper of God telling us to slow down or shift …

Greetings! Time management is a phrase that produces an emotional response in teachers. We struggle with feelings of guilt and wrestle with tension between our work and personal lives. Can we really manage time? Let’s face it, time moves on no matter what we do. We can’t make it slow down, go faster, or stop. At the beginning of the school year, we…

We are the Champions! When we started our race in Christ, we were promised the victory. Lean into that incredible reality as a Christian teacher. Every race has a finish line, and you are guaranteed the victory by our God if you don’t give up. The resurrection of Christ has already won the race for you and has claimed a place for you in the winner’…

In his humanity, Christ did not want to run the race the Father had set for Him. In the Garden of Gethsemane, he calls outright to God to take the task of dying on the cross away from Him. But the fact that Christ got off His knees and accepted His race shows us that supernatural faith wins, despite moments of human weakness. It is true that Christ…

Prayer is a powerful method of communicating with God, and during times of prayer, God can and does communicate with the one praying. The Holy Bible is the Word of God by which God communicates with us and is the standard by which we should test our plans and actions. Christian communication with God in prayer is a necessity. Pray in every situatio…

Greetings! A theme in Psalm 91 is abiding in God's presence. To abide is to remain in the presence of God. To remain in prayer is to continue walking in a prayerful spirit. To continue walking by faith and not by sight. To continue in God's presence. Tonight, Teachers Who Pray will continue to abide in God’s presence with intentional prayers for te…

Greetings! As Christian teachers, we must continually invite the power of the Holy Spirit into every situation of our professional practice, including the day-to-day activities in our classrooms. Often, we attempt to fix a situation ourselves, instead of engaging the power of the ultimate fixer, God. We are called to pray, go and serve. Using the A…

The environment and climate necessary for effective teaching and learning is increasingly undermined by a culture of chaos such as laziness, lies, stealing, bullying, vandalism, unruliness, intolerance and other forms of school-based violence. Educators experience substantially higher rates of depression than the overall population. Teaching is con…

Greetings! Prayer is necessary in all seasons; and nothing is more proper than to call upon the Lord. No matter what distress we are in, there’s nothing to be afraid of as long as we pray and rely on God. Recalling that Daniel was cast into the lion’s den and that his three friends were thrown into the burning fiery furnace, they all came out safe …

"It's better to have a partner than go it alone. Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps. But if there’s no one to help, tough! Two in a bed warm each other. Alone, you shiver all night. By yourself you’re unprotected. With a friend, you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn’t easil…

As we, Christian teachers, undergo development within our prayer life, we become more engaged and alive with what God is doing. "Know ye that Lord is God. It is He that made us, and not we. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture." Psalm 100:3. The more we commune with God, the closer we get, thus enabling us to hear God's voice and making i…

My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God’s Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion. And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he’s listening. If we’re confident that he’s listening, we know that what we…

Teachers are the people who shape the world through their students. It is through them that the next generation can lead us to transformations. That is why we need to pray for these nation builders just as Jesus repeatedly asked and prayed for God to be glorified. Today, we pray for the teachers in our lives. Prayer has the power to transform schoo…

Teachers gain strength and wisdom from God through prayer. As Martin Luther once said, "To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing." In this week's prayer call, educators collectively focus their supplications on three crucial aspects: classroom management, lunchroom protocol, and restroom procedures. Re…

He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 ESV Faith-based teachers come together to move the mountains in academia. This week's Supplication…
