It is that time of year again...schools are starting all around us.Are you ready to start praying intentionally this year for our Greater Montgomery schools both public and private? Each one of those systems have issues because ALL kids bring issues to school with them.
How can we pray?
1. Pray for the administration of EACH school in Montgomery, both
public and private. Pray for wisdom, guidance and doing what is best for
the student--being brave enough to put politicking aside and doing what
is right.
2. Pray for teachers. Pray that the Lord will provide resources, patience, love and fairness in each teacher this year. Pray that as they wade through the new Core Curriculum in public schools that they will have wisdom and discernment. Pray that they will be encouraged. Pray for peace in the classroom so that he/she can actually teach.
3. Pray for support staff: nurses, janitorial staff, secretaries, security etc. Pray for wisdom. Pray for them to do their best.
4. Pray for students. Each student, no matter what their race, gender, economic status will bring issues...even if it is just "growing up" issues.
Pray for their needs to met at home so that they can focus in school. Pray for REAL learning to take place. Pray for kids not to have to come to school hungry each day.
5. Pray for ALL teachers/students and administration to know Christ. If they have a relationship with Jesus, may it grow deeper and become "firmly rooted" in him. If not, pray that someone-maybe you or I-will tell the story to them so that they can know Him personally.
6. Pray about how you and your church can be involved in ministering at these schools. YOU can make a difference even if you don't have a child in that school. ALL schools welcome community support. Our schools ARE your "neighbors".
Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:37-39
If you need some ideas, you can contact your local school or Lisa Rose at Montgomery Baptist Association. 334-271-6794.
Begin praying now with this as your guide and pray for our schools this next 9 months.
