40 Days of Prayer for Education: Day 12


Day 12:

Conduct yourself with wisdom in your interactions with outsiders (non-believers) make the most of each opportunity [treating it as something precious].
Colossians 4:5 AMP



Today’s prayer:


Dear Lord Jesus,

Throughout this school year, we will interact with students, parents and coworkers who may not know about life in You.  Every interaction and conversation are important to You. Bless us with Your insight to never forget that.  If at any time anger or disrespect arise in our encounters, may Your Holy Spirit bring Your Word to mind.  We don’t want to react with a matching negative spirit, so please Jesus, let Your Spirit swiftly guide us to conduct ourselves in wisdom. 
Help us, Jesus, to maneuver and overcome everyday obstacles with You by our side.  Let us not overlook our times in the teacher’s lounge, hallways, cafeteria, parking lot, or anywhere we may contact people, as insignificant.  May our smiles be genuine and our inquiries to the well being of those around us sincere. 
Every opportunity to connect is precious.  Help us to live this truth.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen

The Lord is with you and you are loved!
