I saw a church sign today as I was coming into work. It reminded us all to pray for our schools. There are lots of issues and lots of angst in Montgomery that we could argue and talk about but really.. it is all about the kids, isn't it? Praying for the kids and teachers should be a top priority in the hearts and minds of all Christians in Montgomery. They are our future and we have the ability to affect their futures through our relationship with the Lord. So....this week as school starts up on various days, remember our schools...but mostly remember the kids.
Some thing to pray for this week:
1. For the kids-there are a number of kids this year whose parents have lost jobs, had to move, etc. Because of that....pray that the kids will be provided for in the needs that the school asks of them. From uniforms to school supplies...God's provision is needed.
2 For our kids in Montgomery to be in an environment where it is condusive to learning. I heard today from several different people that some of our schools are overcrowded this year, I know that high school are being shifted to adding 9th graders, etc and it is hard to learn when you are squeezed together in a classroom or dont have enough books to let everyone have one.
3. For our teachers to remember that every child that comes into his/her classroom is special to the Lord.
4. Pray for teachers to have wisdom and be creative to be able to work with the resources they have!!
5. That our churches in Montgomery will be more involved in the lives of schools in their neighborhoods. I have talked to many schools who would love to have churches involved in helping students and teachers in a variety of ways!
Happy School Days!!!
