Test prayer 8

Dear Christian educators,

It's the middle of the week and in the middle of testing. What usually happens in the middle? Sometimes it gives us a sense of doldrums because we are neither at the beginning nor end, but often it can be a day of hope. As Christians, the day of the week should make no difference because we always have hope and it starts with our Source. In one of the most encouraging verses in the Bible its says, (Ps. 139:14) "I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Let's be reminded that no matter what day of the week or what part of testing we are in, He is so good to us. 

Dear Father,

We praise You. We thank You for fearfully and wonderfully creating each one of us. Help us to look at our students today with eyes to see that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Help us to love them especially when they are unlovable. Thank You Lord for this time of testing. Help us to see the positive side of it and help our students not to let down, but stay focus and finish strong. Lord, we need Your presence, Your love, Your grace and Your mercy all around our school today. Help us to be a blessing to all that we come into contact with today. By Your Name and grace we pray. Amen.

As always, I am
Prayerfully dependent,

K
