Dear Heavenly Father,
You are our omnipotent ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Your love is perfect, Your wisdom is perfect because You are perfect in all Your ways. Thank You for Holy Spirit for being our Counselor, Comforter,and the One who leads and guides us in all truth. Your word said that "prayers, petitions, intercession and thanksgiving should be made for all people- for kings and those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness". So I lift up to You the superintendents of region two here in Virginia:
Dr. Elie Bracy - Portsmouth
As I lift them up by name, Jesus have mercy on them because the weight of their job has greatly increased and they need Your help. First Lord, may they learn to or continue to seek You first in all things understandng that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. In all of their getting, may they get understanding because wisdom, that heavenly wisdom from above, is the principal thing. May they ask You for wisdom and believe that You will give it to them. Open the eyes of their understanding and their ears that they may see each situation through Your eyes and clearly hear Your voice through every decision proceess. Silence the lips of the enemy, the naysayers, and those who critize without full knowledge of the truth. Bless them with the fruit of Your Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Now Lord, please protect their health in these times. Ease their burdens so they can rest, physically and mentally. I rebuke stress induced heart attacks, strokes, anxiety, and depression from not only them, but those who work directly with them. May the healing blood of Jesus protect and keep every system of their body and bless them with the strength they need for each day. Shift their workload so that taking a sabbath rest every week does not seem unrealist to them. Shift their workload so that they can spend quality time with their family without feeling like they have to choose between getting work done and being a good father, mother, wife, or husband. Strengthen their families Jesus and send peace, understanding, and joy from above to their households.
Finally, Jesus, I ask that You would cover and surround the cities and county where they work. May your angels stand guard around every school and every household of each employee and student. Bless their cities and counties with love in the homes, patience and compassion between teachers, parents, and students, and fervent unified prayer from the people of God. "May they seek the peace and prosperity of their city or county and pray to You for it, because if it prospers, they will propser." Surround each superintendent with those who will stand in prayer for them and with them. Surround them with people who will hold them to high standards of virtue and integrity. Surround them with Godly mentors and friends. More importantly, surround them with Your presence.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
