Teachers Who Pray

By: Teachers Who Pray
  • Summary

  • Many schools are filled with high levels of anxiety and trauma - due to increases in school violence, students' lack of respect for others and classroom interruptions during instruction. Teachers face unprecedented challenges in the classroom: students’ mental health struggles, students’ learning loss from remote learning caused by Covid-19, and so much more.

    Teachers also face real-life personal issues just like everyone else and these burdens don’t disappear when they go to work. At school, teachers can also face difficult professional challenges: overwhelming workloads, student discipline issues, lack of resources, legislative mandates, budget battles, building lockdowns, curriculum woes, disconnections with the community and so much more. The volume of internal and external noise has grown loud and hostile. Teacher burnout is real. With so much to think about and do on a daily basis, teachers may need an environment to renew, rejuvenate and receive encouragement for their spirit. Thankfully, there is one effective way to refresh the soul: Prayer.

    Teachers Who Pray is a podcast dedicated to providing a quiet space for reflection and prayer for those working in the field of education. Spend some time with other educators on a spiritual journey designed to help you grow closer to God. Take part in weekly prayers led by inspiring members of Teachers Who Pray, a nonpartisan and nonprofit Christian organization that provides a community of prayer for educators. Educators from preschool through college are invited to find spiritual support and opportunities for professional growth. This is your opportunity to allow God to work through you and develop a positive mindset for working in the classroom.

    Discover how to use prayer's transformative powers to address the challenges and stressors associated with the educational field to enhance your effectiveness as a teacher. Prayer can ground your professional duties and responsibilities in faith, and spiritual implementation through Christ Jesus to bring glory and honor to God.

    As you join these prayer meetings, you will experience Christ’s peace, strength, grace, and unity. As you unite in Christ’s love in prayers with other teachers, you will be guided and powered by the Holy Spirit, who will help you succeed in and out of the classroom.

    Having this podcast readily available also makes prayer time for educators more manageable. You can easily join these spiritual gatherings whenever you like, from any location. You can play these episodes anywhere, including the school, the store, the car, or at home. The result: educators have at their fingertips a means to connect with God that nurtures their heart and soul while also feeding their eternal spirit. This podcast will help you to incorporate prayer into your daily routines at work and find the right words to express your feelings to Jesus, who has complete access to your mind, heart, and spirit.

    Do not let the world's distractions get you down. Learn to rely on God and spend time in prayer. He will share with you the secrets to finding your voice as a teacher and elevating your ability to nurture the children and youth of today and tomorrow into hopeful and loving adults. May these episodes enrich your relationship with Jesus, our Teacher and our Lord. .

  • Prayercast: Students Who Are Hurting From Life Challenges And Grieving The Loss Of Loved Ones
    Jun 27 2024

    Are you feeling like you just need one more cup of coffee, a perfect night's sleep, or an extra day off? Teachers everywhere can fall into the trap of thinking they can power through stress by pushing themselves harder. What if the key to feeling recharged isn't just about squeezing more into your already overflowing plate? Maybe God has a different strategy in mind. In today's Prayercast, let's pray for those who are hurting from life challenges and grieving the loss of loved ones to find comfort and strength from God. Trusting in his grace and allowing ourselves to rest can be the key to feeling truly invigorated. Forget just adding to your plate; what if God's plan involves a different kind of productivity, one fueled by his power?

  • Prayercast: For Special Needs Educators, Receptionists, And Security Personnel
    Jun 27 2024

    Think of each and every child in your classroom: what piece of God’s heart sits there as the children take their seats? Seeing children as pieces of God’s heart is such a powerful and humbling vision. The call to teach is a sacred calling, and this sacredness flows from the connection our gift has to children. God cherishes His children, and in caring for them, we care for Him. As we ground our classrooms in the priceless value of His children, let us also be reminded of our own eternal value. We have been blessed with the vocation to teach God’s children, and this is an invitation to partner with God in a miraculous way! How dearly God must love us to entrust us with His precious children! As you support each student in their specific areas of need, be reminded that you are not just serving “the least of these”—you are ministering to God Himself.


    Please join Teachers Who Pray (TWP) as we continue to pray intentional prayers for teachers.


    Using the Adoration Confession Thanksgiving Supplication (ACTS) Prayer Model, this week's Supplication prayers will focus on teachers and assistants who serve special needs students and the needs of the receptionists at the front desk and security at the front door.

  • Prayercast: EOY Testing And Schools Under State Control Or On Probation
    Jun 27 2024

    Waiting is probably more frustrating than receiving a clear, firm “no” from God because you can cry about a no for a time and begin the healing process toward closure. The key to waiting well is to realize that God knows best and constantly affirm his good intentions in your mind and heart. That becomes hard when we get stuck rooting for what we want and leave little to no room for God to be sovereign in the situation. Join us in this episode as we pray for success in EOY Testing, strength and perseverance for schools under state control, and the overall improvement of children’s academics. Yielding our will to God is certainly a spiritual discipline! So have faith—not just in what you want but in God’s best judgment.
