“Everything is possible for one who believes.” Mark 9:23, NIV
Do you know what Jesus can do through you in your professional life if you give Him room to work?
Do you realize that no matter what unfolds this school year—struggles with students, decisions made by administration, or challenges with parents—you are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37)?
Do you know that the prayer of a righteous teacher is powerful and effective—and you are that teacher (James 5:16)?
Do you understand that Jesus has called you to represent Him in your school and district (1 Peter 4:10)?
And do you believe that you have not yet seen, heard, or even imagined the extraordinary things God has planned for your professional life (1 Corinthians 2:9)?
Every one of these promises from Scripture is for you. Receive them. Believe Him. He does not lie. He is the true Promise Keeper.
Is there a promise from God’s Word that you are holding onto this year?
Lord, we do believe, help us overcome our unbelief! Amen.

Thank you for this encouragement this Friday morning. I needed it greatly.
My scripture that I am holding on to is Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” There is a lot going on in the world and my little corner of it. It gives me peace and joy to know that God is working it all for my good and His glory!
