Praise
awaits you, our God, in Zion;
You
answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Savior
Psalm
65:1, 5
Dear
Heavenly Father,
We
give You glory for Your power and goodness towards us. There is not one area of
our lives where Your eyes have not seen and Your hand has not guided or
allowed. Your eyes and heart dwell within us are temples, Your temples, housing
Your Holy Spirit.
Today,
we want to let You know that our praise waits for You. You who hear the prayers
of educators throughout this land. You who hear our children's hearts longing
for safety, nourishment, relationship, comfort, guidance and knowledge. Our praise waits for You.
Our
praise waits for You in anticipation of how You are using Your called ones
throughout this country in public and private schools, universities, and early
childhood centers to push back the realm of darkness and release the light of
Your love and salvation.
Our
praise waits for Your glorious goodness to flow from Your streams to
To You who have armed Yourself with strength
and have given power to those who are called by Your name to do greater works
in this time, our praise waits for You.
Our
praise waits for the time when Your educators realize that they have the power
to raise their dead school system back to life.
Our
praise waits for the time when Your educators realize they have the power to
open the blinded eyes of their atheist coworkers to see Your goodness.
Our
praise waits for the time when Your educators realize they have the power to
open the deaf ears of children who don't believe they can succeed or have a God
given purpose on this earth.
We
prepare our feet to dance, our hands to clap and our mouths to cry Hallelujah
to the victorious King who arms His teachers, coaches, directors, professors
and administrators with strength to fill the education system with His goodness
and to subdue it under His authority.
In Jesus' name,
-Amen
