Instead, pray for God’s help for them, for we are to be kind to others, and God will bless
us for it.

Note to the educator

Y

We are to be kind to others and God will bless us for it. Let’s pray for a spirit of blessing on
our campuses. Our public schools can be one of the meanest places. Students hurt other
students’ feelings; colleagues can be harmful to each other. As Christians on campus, we
A

need to show a better way – the way of blessing. When someone hurts us, we pray for
them first, forgive them next and then bless them. If we consistently and intentionally bless
our enemies, it will stand as an unforgettable model. Some may count it as weakness, but we
count it as the way of our Lord.

1:16 PM prayer
Please pray that God will give our graduates a double blessing of wisdom.

Quote for the day

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.
