Section 2: Refocus and Refresh
Today we begin the second section of our forty day journey entitled Refocus and Refresh. It is my hope that while praying these prayers we will set our minds on what is truly important; seeking, activating, operating in and sharing the Kingdom of Heaven.
So join with us and pray our prepared prayer on page 18 of the FORTY DAYS OF PRAYER FOR EDUCATION free ebook or pray independently from our focus scripture, Matthew 6:33 NKJV.
Afterwards, take some time and ask Jesus to show you scriptures in His Word that will increase your focus on Him. Write them down as He gives them to you over the next few days and refer back them throughout the school year.
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WITHIN YOU
But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
-Matthew 6:33 NKJV
It is our prayer today for the educators in this country to seek first the Kingdom of God. Refocus our attention on You rather than on performance. Revive our hearts to long after You as the deer pants after water in a dry and thirsty land. Purify our spirits and purify our hearts. Holy Spirit, be our teacher and show us how to bring the culture of heaven into education.
But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
-Matthew 6:33 NKJV
Dear King of kings and Lord of lord, El Shaddai,
Today we come before You thanking You for Your ever increasing government. We thank You that You walked this earth to not only save and redeem our lives, but to show us how to operate in the principles and mandates of Your Kingdom.
Thank You that the Word of God shows us how to deal with stress, insecurities, frustrations and lack. Lord, You know that we often deal with these situations. However, because You are our Lord, even if we feel pressed in on every side, we know that You are not only with us, but You are in us and for us.
It is our prayer today for the educators in this country to seek first the Kingdom of God. Refocus our attention on You rather than on performance. Revive our hearts to long after You as the deer pants after water in a dry and thirsty land. Purify our spirits and purify our hearts. Holy Spirit, be our teacher and show us how to bring the culture of heaven into education.
We declare revival and an overthrow of the kingdom of darkness in education. We stand in agreement that the Kingdom of Light, which is the Kingdom of God, will expand its borders from coast to coast in the United States of America.
In the name of Jesus, the Lamb of God who is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and praise
-Amen
