Education

1)For Teachers –
 Titus 2:7 “In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.”

Ephesians 4:2 “With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love”

Pray: Lord, help teachers to be completely humble and gentle. Let them be patient, bearing with each student and with one another in love. Give them wisdom and knowledge as they teach.

Pray: Almighty God, You have given your children all the talents, abilities, and spiritual gifts they need to follow Your plan for their lives. Lord, help them use those gifts to serve You first and others second, so that Your will is accomplished in their lives. Lord, fill their lives with trusted teachers and advisers who can lead them toward You and Your promises. Help them turn to you as they learn and grow so they can lead fruitful and prosperous lives.  

Hebrews 13:17 “Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.”
