Blessings on Lutheran Schools and churches as we start a new school year, still enmeshed in COVID-dealings, and for TEC21 teachers committed to learning and growing this year!  Please bless all of our Southeastern District teachers, and I ask a special blessing upon those that have committed to being part of this undertaking of TEC21.  Help us navigate this with joy in the midst of our already overloaded schedules!

I pray for our world's leaders; for the health and safety of those around the world, especially those charged with keeping others healthy and safe; and for teachers who continue to work harder than ever to make this a positive experience for their students, and whose incredible creativity continues to amaze and inspire me.  I pray for the students they impact and for the families they serve.  Please bless our schools and those who lead them.

I would like to request some prayers for one of my close friends Kathy. She was diagnosed with breast cancer over the summer, and has received 2 of her treatments so far. She is in high spirits and I would just like to pray that she continues to be in high spirits as her treatments get more intense. And, pray that she wins this battle and can return to her usual life sooner rather than later.

God provides great miracles, all we have to do is trust in his power.

I pray that we continue to stay safe, healthy, strong, and at peace, amid the frustration of the virus and impacted supply lines, amid busy holiday seasons, amid darkening days and chillier temperatures, amid busy lives with obligations.  Lord, I ask that your energize each of us.  I ask that you give us that beautiful peace that passes understanding...

Thankful for my Dad who celebrated his 90th birthday this weekend.

I would like to pray for all the teachers out there fighting for their students and themselves. I would also like to pray for all of those entering the Holidays missing a family member. I know how hard it can be for those who have someone in heaven instead of at the table. May the Lord bless us with kindness, strength and thanksgiving.

Please be with our 6th grade as they struggle through the meanings of Ephesians 4:32. Our school year theme verse is being put to the test this week as we encourage kindness and forgiveness in a difficult situation.

I pray for our students today. May they have the courage to live in the manner which God commands. May the teachers have the wisdom to lead them. May the parents have the patience to live with, love, and guide them.

I pray blessings on an interview for a potential 3rd grade teacher for our school.

Praying for the father of a good friend who was diagnosed with metastatic brain cancer.  Latest scans are confusing and do NOT show  that the cancer has actually metastasized as originally thought.  Family is cautiously holding out hope that this is actually true.

Please pray for my family as we miss our son/brother who is still in Basic Training for the WV National Guard. Pray that he stays safe and healthy. Pray that he remembers his strength and where it comes from. Also, please pray that he follows the guidance of our Lord as he always has. As a veteran I know how easy it is to get wrapped up in what everyone else is doing. I also ask for prayers for the family of the person who was in the car accident near my home. The person did not make it. Lastly, I ask you to pray for our school and our 7th grade class. Pray that the students will understand where they are going wrong when it comes to their behavior and their words towards each other. Help them understand that what might be funny to them can be hurtful to others. May we all trust in God and know that He will always see us through. I ask these things in Jesus name.

Pray for peace throughout our world. So many people are going through so much struggle and death and they all need so much prayer! Also, pray for my teacher assistant. She and her family all have COVID.

I pray for my students who are still struggling with interpersonal relationships/ showing kindness to their classmates.  I pray for awareness of their own actions and how those choices can be perceived by others.  I pray that God reaches into the hearts and minds of each student so they invidually -- and collectively -- feel that they each belong.

Please pray for my entire class who was put on quarantine on Tuesday afternoon after a student that was in our class on that day then tested positive for COVID shortly after pick up. Please pray especially for our little Jody girl and her dad who were the positive testers. Please also pray for all of those who are with sickness and those who have been affected by this sickness in any way. Pray for students who will soon be told that masking is optional. May they know that if they want to wear their masks, they can and that they shouldn't feel pressured by friend or foe when it comes to their decision. I will continue to keep you all in prayer. I hope that you are all well.

Praying thanks for the blessings that God has provided as I was able to step away from my second job.  The peace that I have received is amazing!

Prayers for my sister as she enters an important school meeting for my nephew and that his needs will be met.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water

that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”

Jeremiah 17: 7-8

I ask you, Lord, for calm in my personal chaos.  Thank you for the countless times you have provided peace in the midst of panic, even when it seems like such an unlikely feeling to encounter.  Help me, specifically, to heal quickly so that I may again serve You to the best of my abilities.

I also ask for blessings of Your grace upon those I encounter today, whether it be by something I say or do, intentional or happenstance.  Please help me to be a conduit of Your grace.  Amen.

I pray for the wonderful teachers in our TEC21 cohort this year. I pray that this experience has challenged and inspired them. I pray that they will continue to explore these and other technologies for classroom use. More than anything, I pray that they stay energized to finish out the school year with creativity and vigor, knowing that the peace of summer relaxation is shortly approaching!

This year has been so hard in so many unprecedented ways. Between student behavior, illness, and classroom work load I feel burnt out. I pray that this year closes peacefully and that next school year goes a little easier on us teachers.
