Posts about Prayers for Teachers

Good morning, Father

Children are an amazing gift from You.

Father, help me to teach Bible stories to my preschoolers with accuracy this year. Jesus is our example. I desire my children to base their decisions and actions on the teachings and plumb line of Jesus, even at an early age.

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24, CSB)

In the name of Jesus, our Plumb Line,

Good morning, Father

Lord, Your Son, Jesus, is our example of a Peacemaker. I ask You to help me teach my preschoolers how to solve problems with each other. With violence so prevalent in video games and movies, their little eyes take in more than they can process. Be their Teacher. Instill in their hearts and minds actions of peace not violence.

“Blessed are the peacemakers.” (Matthew 5:9, CSB)

In the name of Jesus, our Prince of Peace,

Father, it’s a new school year–a time of learning and growing physically, mentally, and spiritually. One thing all young children have a problem with is “my and mine.” Help my preschoolers  learn to share, take turns, and have a kind and forgiving attitude towards others. As their teacher, I want to help them grow in Your mercy.

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (Matthew 5:7, CSB)

In the name of Jesus, our Merciful Savior,

Good morning, Father

Children are an amazing gift from You.

Father, it’s a new school year–a time of learning and growing physically, mentally, and spiritually. I pray that my preschoolers will adjust to a new class, a new teacher, and possibly new classmates. Help them grow in behavior and actions that will bring Your glory. May my actions and words be positive as I teach and correct.

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16, CSB)

Good morning, Father.

Father, You understand how children are. They put conditions on their friendships. For example: I will play with you if . . . ; I will include you if . . . ; I will like you if . . . ; or I will share with you if . . . . Help me as their teacher to instill the mindset to not put conditions on their friendships. May this understanding overflow to their relationship with You, as they learn to not put conditions on their love for God.

“Jesus told him, ‘It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.’ ” (Matthew 4:7, CSB)

Good morning, Father.

Children are an amazing gift from You.

Today I am reminded of the importance of studying Your word and applying it to my life. Help me as I work with preschoolers to teach them to begin habits such as this at an early age. May they hunger and thirst to know You from hearing Bible stories and how they apply to their young lives.

“He (Jesus) answered, ‘It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ” (Matthew 4:4, CSB)

In the name of Jesus, our Example,

Good morning, Father.

Children are an amazing gift from You.

Father, I love the two female hummingbirds that feed at my sugar water. Too often the water turns sour from the heat of the day and I am reminded to make fresh.

The heat we experience in life can turn our plans, goals, or happiness sour due to unexpected situations, disappointments, unwelcome news, pressure, or by being overwhelmed. Father, remind me during those times to place myself under Your protective shade and find Your refreshment and protection from the elements of life.

You are the God of order, purpose, and peace. Help me to reflect that to the preschoolers I encounter. Thank You for Your love for me.

“. . . and there will be a shelter for shade from heat by day, and a refuge and shelter from storm and rain.” (Isaiah 4:6, CSB)

In the name of Jesus, come to Me,

Good morning, Father.

Children are an amazing gift from You.

As we see the end of this summer season, I pray, Father, that these preschoolers will bear much fruit. My heart desire is that they will end their season with me as their teacher successful in making friends, sharing with others, completing their work, listening, following directions, and growing in their social as well as their academic skills. But most of all, may they continue to grow in their understanding of You and make a profession of faith in their adolescent years.

“My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be My disciples.”
(John 15:8, CSB)

Good morning, Father.

Children are an amazing gift from You.

Father, bless the preschoolers I encounter with wisdom. They are like sponges and absorb everything. Even at an early age, You fill them with truth of You. As they sing Bible songs, hear stories about Jesus and other saints from Your Word, or watch movies designed to teach about You, develop in them a hunger for more. Fill them with the knowledge and fear of You, for that is where all wisdom begins.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10, CSB)

In the name of Jesus, Wisdom from God,
