ARISE AND SHINE…FOR OUR NATION

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You... for Your Son, Jesus Christ, rose with all power in His hands. Thank You, that as Jesus walked this earth, He showed us how to activate and impart the Kingdom of Heaven into our lives. While the enemy may come to kill, steal and destroy, Jesus has empowered us through His teachings and actions to resurrect restore and rebuild.

Today Lord, may the educators of this nation hear Your call to, "Arise and shine". May we understand that Your glory has risen upon us. If our nation's educational system is to change, it will be through the actions of Your people, both educators and students, to exhibit Your

glory without hesitation.

God of wisdom, embed into our understanding that showing Your glory is not just limited to showing the love of the Father to a dead and dying world. We need You to work in us to will and to act as You did when You walked this earth. You never departed from a dead situation without restoring life. You never left those who were poor in spirit of dignity, knowledge or health without restoring their honor, understanding and giving them healing. You always built up the brokenhearted, unconditionally offering them Your love.

Father, we labeled those things as miracles, when they were in fact, Your norm. This year, train your educators to walk in Your norm and with great expectation, resurrect, restore and rebuild the educational system of our nation. For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever amen.

-In the name of Jesus we say, “Thank you”.
