We Pray for Hays

🎄Merry Christmas 🎄

💗Sixth grade girls💗 Join us Friday morning for our first meeting!

Pray for the teacher that feels in over her head. Who walked in her loud classroom to someone rolling on the floor and another writing on the desk who is wondering if she picked the right profession today.

✨ Give that teacher assurance that she/he is called.

Pray for the teacher who has the hurting child today. The child that left home from a hostile environment that is doing their best to hide their pain but needs someone to notice and advocate for them.

✨Give that teacher insight.

Pray for the teacher that has the child with the undiagnosed behavior problem. Where the parents are in denial and the teacher is trying to teach a classroom and manage a child that is demanding all their time and they feel drained.

✨Give that teacher grace and extra love.

Pray for the teacher who is a new mother that is trying to pump and nurse and manage it all with a classroom of kids that feel like babies themselves.

✨ Give that teacher energy.

Pray for the teacher who feels her entire class is not respecting her. And the passion she once had for teaching has now turned into lessons on respect and she’s worn down.

✨ Give that teacher the gentle authority she needs.

Pray for the teacher who has a hurting heart today, and a classroom of kids that need her. For the one that woke up today needing encouragement and an extra dose of love.

✨ Give that teacher peace today and let her kids love on her.

Teaching is a calling.

A ministry.

A place where many go to teach science, math and English but where they often find themselves teaching about emotions and self control more than anything academic.

Your teachers need your prayers today just as much as your children do. So let’s cover them in prayer. So they can change the world one child at a time.

🙌🏼✨❤️

What a great turn out this morning! 🙏🏼

Praise and Thankfulness:

“Truly, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:19-20‬

Dear Lord, we are so thankful for you and your sacrifice on the cross. Thank you dying in the cross to save us and to be with us. Thank you for our school, our teachers, our city and our nation.
(If the group is small let them add a few things they are thankful for.)
In Jesus Name, Amen

Prayer for our Teachers:

“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
Proverbs 11:25

Dear Lord, please help our teachers be renewed and refreshed by your love as they teach us new things everyday. Give them strength and understanding. Jesus, we pray for the teachers that don’t know you to seem you and be saved! Watch over our teachers everyday!
In Jesus Name, Amen

Prayer for our Community:

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:14-16‬ ‭

Dear Lord, let us shine your light to all people in our town, our families, our friends, our neighbors & our leaders. Jesus, make yourself known in our city! We love you, we trust you! Do what you want to with our city! Bring glory, mercy and love to us.
In Jesus Name, Amen

Prayer for our Nation:

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Dear Lord, thank you for freedom! True freedom only comes from you. Bring our nation together. Give all of our leaders wisdom and kindness in their hearts. Protect our nation from danger of all kinds. Watch over America everyday.
In Jesus Name, Amen
