In his humanity, Christ did not want to run the race the Father had set for Him. In the Garden of Gethsemane, he calls outright to God to take the task of dying on the cross away from Him. But the fact that Christ got off His knees and accepted His race shows us...
Greetings! Prayer is necessary in all seasons; and nothing is more proper than to call upon the Lord. No matter what distress we are in, there’s nothing to be afraid of as long as we pray and rely on God. Recalling that Daniel was cast into the lion’s den and that his three friends were...
As we, Christian teachers, undergo development within our prayer life, we become more engaged and alive with what God is doing. “Know ye that Lord is God. It is He that made us, and not we. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.” Psalm 100:3. The more we commune with God, the...
My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God’s Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion. And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he’s listening....

Recognizing the profound impact...
When teachers are praying for teachers, we are inviting the God of the Universe into our professional practices, classrooms and school buildings. Prayer changes us and those environments. Through prayer, we utilize the key to reaching our full teaching potential through Christ. We use the A.C.T.S. Prayer Model: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication. This week’s...
