Pray for the teachers, administrators, and staff at your school and district That they will consider each child as a special individual—not just as “their class” or “their job”; that they will have a zeal to make a difference for good in each life That they will not grow weary in well doing, particularly near the end of the year; that their commitment to excellence and discipline will not wane That God will prepare the teachers’ hearts for good relationships with your children That positions at your school will be filled by men and women with godly principles and values That those teachers going through difficult personal problems will seek God That Christian teachers will be salt and light, demonstrating the fruit of the Spirit in their lives That substitute teachers will be able to control classrooms and be a welcome and positive influence in your school That there will be a “Teachers/Faculty In Touch” at your school, as well as each school in the district That godly men and women will fill administrative and staff positions; that they will make wise decisions regarding curriculum, rules, hiring, et cetera; that they will have the best interests of your children at heart That biblical standards will be considered in choosing curriculum—pray specifically against New Age and humanistic influences, particularly in the gifted programs
