Test prayer 5

My dear Christian educators,

How are your testing days going? I hear a variety of reports from "all is well" to "can't wait to be done." It's Friday and you've come to the end of a long week and it's time to not just make it through, but to praise it through. Let's look for ways we can be thankful for the little things and show the students gratitude. Don't make a big deal about it, but go out of your way today to thank the students for trying their best. Sometimes it's just the little things that make the big difference.  Let's give thanks this morning to God who is worthy of our praise.

Dear Lord,

We want to thank You today for giving us this new day. Thank You Lord for these students we are responsible and for protecting them during this testing period and always. You are the Only One Who can truly give us the ability to be successful in school. Thank You for giving us the ability to learn, read, write and communicate. It's really quite miraculous when we look at the rest of Your Creation. Thank You, Lord for calling us to be educators and giving us the privilege to touch the next generation for You. Please help the families of the Waco and Boston tragedies this week as they begin the healing process. Lord, bless this day and help us to be thankful. In Jesus's mighty Name we pray. Amen.

1st Thess.5:16-19 - Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; of this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

As always, I am
Prayerfully dependent,

K
