In a little over two weeks school will open the doors. It is a daunting task our educators have – to be responsible for exposing children to quality information while protecting them from other information and environmental circumstances can seem overwhelming. Bus drivers, lunchroom staff, coaches and sponsors will all contribute each day to our child’s life. They need our help! As children of the Living God, we have a responsibility to pray for our teachers and administrators.
Illuminating the next generation, helping them to develop good character and grow as individuals is a good thing. It is God’s will that ignorance be abolished. He carefully orchestrated the collection of ancient text which was used to create the Holy Bible. His instructions are available to everyone so we can learn. Without the opportunity to learn everyone would be lost.
We are blessed to live in a country where schools are available to almost everyone. Transportation in the form of busses will pick children up almost everywhere. Educational opportunities are not equal from one district to the other but they are all better than some parts of the world where education isn’t an option at all.
Praying for our teachers, administrators, drivers, coaches and anyone who works in the school system will give them strength, incite and courage. Mark your calendar with reminders to pray for our school employees. They are all preparing for the upcoming classes. God can give them incite and wisdom to know how to approach their students. God can provide resources so they will have the tools they need to reach children in a positive way. You can have a part in helping chilren overcome the opstacles that will bombard them. You may be the difference they need. Pray!
