Note to the educator

Don’t you just want to shout it on the mountains? Don’t you want to go out and tell all the
Y

world? Draw close to God and He will draw close to you! It’s a promise! In our role as
educator, we can’t just shout it on the mountains, nor tell it to all the people in our official
capacity as a government employee, but we can pray this promise over our students and
colleagues. We can walk our daily lives like we believe this truth. We can sing praises to God
in our hearts throughout the day and be blessed by the Word of God during our quiet times
A

at school. (if you can find any!) When we take one step toward God, it is as if He takes two
steps towards us. Please take time this summer to draw close to God and see what He has in
store for you.

1:16 PM prayer
Please pray for opportunities to serve on committees and boards where our influence would
make a difference for Christ and the Truth.
