A Prayer Of Patience For Teachers
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
Patience is truly a virtue. So many aspects of our lives call for patience, whether it be waiting in line at the grocery store or holding on for a brighter tomorrow. Regardless of what you’re waiting for, know that God is always with us, both for the good and the bad in life. Bible verses about patience teach us that we must be patient in His plan for us, especially when we are going through some hard times. And prayer for patience goes a long way.
Consider the value of patience in the bible: Joseph waited 13 years before God fulfilled His promise and Abraham waited 25 years for a divine encounter with God through a burning bush. Meanwhile, Moses was left stranded in the wilderness for 40 years before God showed Him the way to the Promised Land and Jesus waited for 30 years to fulfill His role as our Savior. To make a person great, God breaks them first before putting the right pieces together.
Teaching is one of the most fulfilling and noble careers out there, but it’s also a career that demands a lot of patience. Turning to prayer can help teachers keep going, as their efforts to spread God’s word are all part of His greater plan for us.
Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for the gift of education. Thank You for blessing me with the ability to share my knowledge with others, and lead them on the path of Your glory.
It’s a tough job, but I know You gave it to me for a reason. I know that my purpose in this world is to teach what I know from You, as everything leads back to Your will.
Some days are harder than others, so please grant me the grace of patience. I know my efforts will be rewarded, but even without such promises, everything I do is worth it, because I do everything in Your name. Amen.
