A Prayer for Educators: Trusting in God’s Omnipotence

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
— Ephesians 3:20–21 (NIV)

Heavenly Father,


We come before You, acknowledging Your omnipotence—Your unlimited power and authority over all creation. You spoke, and light appeared; You willed, and worlds were formed. Nothing is too hard for You, O Lord.

Thank You for allowing us, as educators, to share in Your divine work of shaping minds and hearts. Remind us daily that the strength to teach, to guide, and to love does not come from ourselves but from Your boundless power that sustains all things. When the classroom feels heavy and challenges seem overwhelming, help us remember that You are the same God who created, sustains, and redeems.

Lord, grant us wisdom to teach with understanding, patience to nurture each learner, and faith to believe that You are at work in every life we touch. Let Your Holy Spirit empower us to see beyond limitations of race, culture, or circumstance, and to view every student through the eyes of Christ—fearfully and wonderfully made.

May Your resurrection power breathe new life into our teaching, our schools, and our hearts. Strengthen us to plant and water faithfully, trusting that You alone cause the increase.

We declare today that You are able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we ask or imagine. We rest in Your omnipotence, confident that Your purposes will never fail.

In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
