Disciple of Prayer
If you have a free moment, I kindly ask that you might pray a version of this prayer for me as I face a potential lay-off due to budget cuts. The thought of losing this position is heartbreaking to me as I feel so fulfilled serving the students of my community alongside a passionate team of professional educators. This is the first time I’ve ever felt like I have belonged anywhere in my life and am doing what I was created to do. Thank you in advance. I wrote this letter to God, because I often struggle with what to say in prayer without writing it down. Dear heavenly father, I'm humbly coming to you today to thank you for your miraculous providence and to ask for a breakthrough and positive and miraculous resolution to my current teaching position situation. I know that only you can do the impossible. Lord, thank you for your providence in the past 2 years of my teaching job, that you led me to a school where I feel so loved and valued, and where I feel like I belong. The only place that I have ever felt like I have truly belonged in my life. Thus, I'm praying for a miracle and blessings regarding my teaching position. I give thanks for the doors that you have opened for me and the times in which you blessed me when all hope seemed lost. I know you know my heart and I pray that you can understand the things that I struggle to put into thoughts, words, or prayer. I'm praying incessantly to keep my job which I know deeply that without your intervention, will not be a reality. My provider, I pray for your favor to continue to shine on me regarding my teaching job and that they are able to keep me. I pray that you put my name in the minds and the hearts of the people making these decisions. Help me to fully trust in you that you are the light onto my feet and you are in the driver seat leading my life and my career path. Please forgive me for my foolishness, sins, and struggles with trusting you. Banish the evil one from my life in your holy name as I strive to be ever closer to you. Help me to seek first your kingdom and your righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well. Renew my faith daily and strengthen me, grant me your discernment and ears to listen to you so that I may please your heart. I pray that a miraculous and positive resolution is reached soon, because this situation is eating me alive and I don’t know how much more I can take. I place all my desires and plans into the mighty hands of our God, and pray In Jesus name, amen.
