Go Beyond At Home
28-Week Prayer Guide
Teachers and Students
We are just days away from the annual transition of starting the new school year. This is a meaningful change in season for so many in our community but specifically teachers and students. This week, we will focus on praying specifically for our teachers and students as they begin this new season.
Week 22
Day 5
August 1
“But in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.“
— 1 Peter 3:15
REMINDER: This verse has two great reminders for us as we start a new school year. First, we are challenged to keep Christ first in our hearts—not allowing new activities or schedules to shift our priorities away from keeping Him first. Second, we are reminded to be ready to share with others about the hope and freedom that is found in a relationship with God. These two reminders go hand in hand as prioritizing God in our lives naturally leads us to want to share with others.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– Ask God to show you anything that is competing with Him as priority in your heart.
– Pray for eyes to see the opportunities God provides for you to share the hope of Christ with others who need to hear it.
– Pray for the students and teachers in our faith community to keep Christ first and have boldness to share their faith.
