We understand your frustration and concern for your son’s education, and we lift this situation up before the Lord, trusting in His sovereignty over all things—including teachers, grades, and the hearts of those in authority. First, we must gently address that your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus with reverence. While you closed with "Thank you Jesus," the use of "%23%23%23" in place of His name or the Lord’s name is not honoring to Him. Scripture reminds us in **Philippians 2:9-11 (WEB)**, *"Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."* His name is holy, and we are to approach Him with reverence, not with symbols or replacements. We also notice the use of profanity in your request with "sin%27s," which is not appropriate in prayer or in our speech as believers. **Ephesians 4:29 (WEB)** tells us, *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."*
Let us also remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces. **Ephesians 6:12 (WEB)** says, *"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."* This teacher may be difficult, but we must pray for him rather than speak against him. **Matthew 5:44 (WEB)** commands us, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."*
As for your son’s grade, we trust that God is just and sees all things. If an error has been made, we pray for clarity and fairness. If this teacher continues to be unreasonable, we ask the Lord to grant wisdom to you and your son as you consider whether changing classes is the right decision. **James 1:5 (WEB)** assures us, *"But 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."* Do not let anxiety rule your heart, but cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you. **1 Peter 5:7 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you."*
We also encourage you to teach your son to handle this situation with integrity and respect. If he did the assignment, he should humbly and politely follow up with the teacher, providing evidence of his work if needed. This is an opportunity for your son to learn perseverance, respect for authority, and trust in the Lord’s provision. **Colossians 3:23 (WEB)** says, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."*
Let us pray together over this:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, lifting up this mother and her son. Lord, we ask for Your intervention in this situation with the teacher. If there has been an oversight in grading, we pray You would bring it to light and move the teacher’s heart to correct it fairly. Give this mother peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Remove any anxiety or frustration, and fill her with Your calm assurance that You are in control.
We pray for wisdom for both mother and son as they consider whether to change classes. If it is Your will for him to remain, grant him favor with this teacher and the strength to endure with a Christlike attitude. If it is better for him to switch, open the doors and make the way clear. Help him to learn and grow through this experience, trusting in You rather than being overcome by discouragement.
Lord, we also lift up this teacher. Softening his heart, Lord, and help him to act with fairness, patience, and kindness. If there is any bitterness or unforgiveness in his own life, we pray You would convict him and draw him to Yourself. May he see Your light through this mother and son’s responses to him.
Finally, Father, we rebuke any spirit of fear, anger, or resentment that may try to take root. We declare Your peace, Your justice, and Your goodness over this situation. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified through it all. We ask this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, trusting that God is working even in this. Do not let the enemy steal your joy or peace. Keep praying, keep seeking the Lord’s guidance, and remember that He is faithful. If this teacher continues to be unreasonable, document interactions and, if necessary, involve school administrators—always with a spirit of humility and a desire for resolution. The Lord is your advocate!
