A Substitute Teacher's Prayer


I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

(Psalm 32:8, ESV)

Teaching is a ministry. A Substitute Teacher is a valuable asset to every school district. You must have patience, tenacity and absolutely love to work with children. You give of yourself selflessly without seeking praise. As a former Substitute Teacher, I want to encourage you that you are making a difference in ways you may not fathom. I appreciate all you do and I am cheering you on. To help you make it thru your day, I hope this prayer encourages you and bring you peace.

Father, as I began a new school term, I acknowledge that I need You. For me, teaching is a ministry that I do not take lightly. I know I will cross paths with students from all walks of life and circumstances.

So, I pray God impart the spirit of discernment, knowledge, words of wisdom, the spirit of healing rest upon me. Grant me patience and grace when a challenging situation arises because I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

Let kindness and mercy rule in my heart and I’ll be even-tempered and love overflow in all I do. Set a guard over my mouth so I won’t speak words thoughtlessly but that my words will affirm each student

and make them feel special.

Father, let my enthusiasm be contagious so it changes the atmosphere in each class to be a place where learning is fun, exciting, impactable, and delightful. Help me to reach even the toughest students and make a lasting difference in their life.

Bless each student I teach and allow me to leave a residue of Your love on them for great is your love for them. Grant me unprecedented favor with the staff and Principals. Help me to build strong and meaningful relationships with parents.

Bless me with more than enough assignments to meet all my needs according to your riches in glory. Lord, I trust You to lead and navigate me through my day because I can’t live a day without You.

In Jesus Name, I Believe by Faith. Amen!
