COURAGE IN THE RECRUITING OFFICE PART 2
May 25, 2022
Prayer: Lord, help me stay committed to You in prayer and obedience in my professional life. Amen
Scripture: The prayer of a righteous person [educator] is powerful and effective. James 5:16 NIV
All those prayers are coming together now so you will do this well, fearless in your struggle, keeping a firm grip on your faith… After all, this is a fight we’re in. Timothy 1:14-16 MSG
You are in a recruiting office sitting across from Jesus at a desk. He pushes a letter across the desk for you to read and sign.
Dear Teacher,
You have been chosen to join the Public School Prayer Force. Prayer is the single greatest tool, strategy, and weapon you have to improve the institution of public education and to combat the darkness there. If you choose to join the Prayer Force you must: 1) pray in your classroom (office) secretly as my Spirit leads, 2) agree in prayer with other believers in your profession, 3) read my policy manual (the Bible) and follow the instructions, and 4) love all the students, parents, and staff you serve, even those that hate and hurt you.
Your Recruiting Officer,
Jesus
I accept this invitation to be a part of the Public School Prayer Force and understand my call and responsibilities that I can only fulfill with your help.
