Thank God it's Monday Devotional 28

by David Joynt on October 01, 2022


PROVERBS 22:6 | 6 Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.

Another way to pray for teachers is to ask God to give them wisdom as they try to understand the needs, possibilities, and challenges faced by each child. Some kids are distracted, by games and social media. Some have special learning challenges. Some come from unstable or under resourced homes. Some have emotional hurdles.

God knows each of us better than we know ourselves. He is acquainted with every thought, and understands every emotion. Teachers in tune with Him can learn to see their charges with His eyes.

Pray for wisdom for all who teach.

Pray for wisdom for yourself as you relate to others.
