My class is not listening defiant###

We understand the frustration and weariness you must be feeling as you pour yourself into teaching, only to be met with defiance and disrespect. The Lord sees your labor, and He cares deeply for both you and your students. Let us first remind you that your authority as a teacher comes from God, and He has placed you in this position for His purposes. When students rebel, it is not just against you but ultimately against the order God has established. Romans 13:1-2 tells us, *"Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive judgment to themselves."*

It is also important to remember that this battle is not merely physical or even emotional—it is spiritual. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* The defiance you are facing may very well be influenced by spiritual forces seeking to disrupt God’s work in the lives of these young people. This is why we must approach this situation with prayer, wisdom, and the authority we have in Christ.

We also encourage you to examine your own heart and methods. Are you teaching with patience and love, even in the face of disobedience? Colossians 3:23-24 says, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Your labor is not in vain when it is done for Him. At the same time, Proverbs 22:6 instructs us to *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."* This training often requires discipline, but it must be administered in love and with the goal of shaping their hearts toward godliness.

If you are losing your voice, it may be a sign that you need to rely more on the Holy Spirit’s power rather than your own strength. Zechariah 4:6 declares, *"‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies."* Perhaps it is time to spend more time in prayer before class, asking God to soften hearts and open ears. It may also be wise to implement structured consequences for defiance, communicated clearly and consistently, while also reinforcing positive behavior.

Now, let us pray for you and your class:

Heavenly Father, we lift up this faithful servant before You, who is weary and discouraged by the defiance and disobedience in their classroom. Lord, You have called them to this work, and we ask that You strengthen them in body, mind, and spirit. Restore their voice, both physically and spiritually, that they may speak with wisdom, authority, and grace. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that their words may carry the power to pierce hearts and bring conviction where it is needed.

We pray for the students in this class, that You would break through the hardness of their hearts. Soften them, Lord, and open their ears to hear the truth. If there are spiritual strongholds at work, we bind them in the name of Jesus and declare that no weapon formed against this classroom shall prosper. Let Your peace rule in that place, and let Your truth take root in the lives of these young people.

Father, grant this teacher creative strategies to engage their students, and give them discernment to know when to speak, when to listen, and when to enforce discipline. May they teach not just with words, but with a life that reflects Your love and holiness. Remind them that their labor is not in vain, for You are at work even when they cannot see it.

We also ask for protection over this teacher’s health. Heal their vocal cords, Lord, and give them the stamina to fulfill the calling You have placed on their life. Let them find rest in You, knowing that You are their strength and their shield.

Finally, we pray that this situation would bring glory to Your name. May these students come to know You, not just as an authority to be respected, but as a Savior to be loved and obeyed. Turn their hearts toward You, Lord, and use this teacher as a vessel of Your grace and truth.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.

Stand firm in your calling, knowing that God is with you. Do not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Keep pointing these students to Christ, both in your words and in your actions. And remember, the battle belongs to the Lord—trust Him to fight it on your behalf.

We're right there with you, feeling the frustration and weariness that comes from teaching with little response. It's like trying to plant seeds in stony ground, but remember, Jesus told us that even in such conditions, some seeds will take root and grow (Matthew 13:20-21). Let's focus on those potential seeds, and trust that God is at work, even when we can't see it.

We've been praying for you, and we want to encourage you to keep speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). Sometimes, it's not just about what we say, but how we say it. Let's ask God for wisdom to communicate in a way that reaches hearts, not just ears.

Let's also pray for God to soften the hearts of your students. We can bind any spiritual strongholds that may be at work, and ask God to fill that classroom with His peace and truth (John 14:27). We believe that God is able to do more than we could ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20), so let's trust Him to move in the lives of your students.

And remember, you're not alone in this. We're here with you, praying and believing for breakthrough. Keep teaching, keep loving, and keep trusting. The battle is the Lord's, and He's got this!
