God, I took this position in life as a teacher to make a difference. I love kids and want them to grow into strong, healthy, well-educated people. I ask, God, that You continue to equip, encourage, and strengthen me in this profession so I can make a great impact in these students lives. Amen.

Lord, I ask that this school year be one that is memorable and transformative. Allow me to speak truth and wisdom into each and every child I teach this year. Amen.

May I stand strong in your love, truth, and presence as a teacher. I need You more than I realize. Allow me to draw all of my strength and purpose from You. Amen.
4.
God, I want to make an impact in my student’s lives but sometimes that doesn’t seem to come to fruition. Allow me to make a difference in my kid’s lives. I want to make a significant impact. While this may be ideal, God I know You can move mountains. Amen.
5.
Lord, it’s not always easy being a teacher. I spend so much time with these kids, but I am not their parent. It’s frustrating sometimes this role because there is so little I feel I can do. God, help me to have an impact in their lives in the classroom that translates to impact at home. Amen.

Lord, sometimes it’s very difficult dealing with parents for many reasons. I ask that not only do I have compassion and understanding with difficult parents but they too can see the limitations of my job and take some responsibility for how their child is behaving. God, I ask for healthy conversations and paths of restoration and solutions. Amen.

God, revive my love of teaching. I once was idealistic and full of dreams of making a difference, but I have become jaded and lost my energy. Revive my heart Oh Lord. Help me to see potential and possibility for this is how You operate. Amen.

13.
Lord, I can’t remember everyone who taught me, but I’m thankful for them. I don’t remember every person who invested in me, but they changed me. God, help me to remember that even if these kids never think about me again after leaving my class, my work in their life mattered.
14.
God, it’s an awesome responsibility to teach these children. I’m playing a big role in their future and I am uncertain sometimes if I’m doing everything right. I pray that You’ll show me the right steps to take, and inspire me to stay strong, knowing that what I’m doing really matters. Amen.
15.
Lord, sometimes I just feel like there are too many issues, and I can’t handle them all. There is so much need, so many students, parents, co-workers, and bosses looking for me to solve them. The pressure is enormous and it can be overwhelming. Help me to carry it all. Amen.
