What are you believing God to do to manifest His glory in these students and in these schools?

YOUR MANY BLESSINGS
Bless the LORD, O my soul; and
all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and
forget not all His benefits:
Psalm
103: 1-2
Dear
Heavenly Father who always satisfies us in the morning with Your unfailing
love,
We
delight ourselves in You. We thank You for giving us the desires of our heart.
Thank You, Holy Spirit, for being the continual fresh oil upon our lives. Thank
You for leading and guiding us into the truth of our Kingdom assignment as set
forth in Your word.
It
is because of Your grace and not of our works that You choose to bless us and
be merciful to us. Thank You for Your great love. As we, Your educators of this
nation, walk in bold, immediate obedience of our calling to those around us, we
thank You for the blessings Your Word has assigned to us.
Thank
You Lord for rebuilding the original foundations of education in this country;
lessons, curriculum, integrity and values based on the Word of God.
Thank
You for providing us with the wisdom and resources to rebuild the broken
structures of our school buildings.
Thank
You that as we teach our students about values and we live a life of holiness
before them, You will raise up our students to be men and women of God who will
renew Your design of the family unit which has been devastated in this country
for generations.
Thank
You for the blessing of unhindered opportunities to share the message of Your
eternal love with others in this profession.
Thank
You for blessing us with riches and double portions of raises, promotions,
increased benefits and resources for ourselves and our schools.
Thank
You for Your everlasting love, faithfulness, mercy and grace.
There
is no one who loves us more than You. We, Your educators say, "Thank You
and we love You too".
In
Jesus' name,
-Amen
