We understand your desires for efficiency and protection in your work as a teacher, and we will pray and provide guidance accordingly. Firstly, we appreciate that you ended with 'in Jesus' name.' This is the only way that we can come before God the Father. In Acts 4:12 WEB it states "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, whereby we must be saved!"
In all that we do, we should strive to be excellent, as this reflects our commitment to serving God. In Colossians 3:23 WEB, it is written, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men." We pray that you will be filled with wisdom and discernment as you teach, that your words may impart knowledge and inspire your students. We ask that God grants you grace to make your grading tasks easy and free from error. In James 1:5, WEB, it says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."
Regarding protection from troublesome students, we pray that God surrounds you with His hedge of protection, and that He grants you the grace to handle difficult situations with calmness, authority, and love. In Psalm 91:11-12 WEB, it is written, "For he will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone." Remember, even in challenging moments, you are a representative of Christ, and your responses should reflect His love and patience.
Concerning your desire to be informed about changes in your high school, we trust that God, who knows all things, will ensure you are updated with necessary information. In Matthew 10:19 WEB, it says, "But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say." We should also do our due diligence in keeping informed while not worrying about what we may miss.
Lastly, we encourage you to keep your focus on God, trusting in Him to guide and direct your paths. In Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, it is written, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
We pray all these things in Jesus' name, trusting that God hears and answers our prayers. We encourage you to maintain a consistent prayer life and grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ. This is only possible when you have accepted Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and have asked Him to be your Lord and Savior. If you have not done this, we strongly encourage you to do so now.
