This week let's lift up the teachers and counselors in the Bradleyville school system. Pray for God's guidance and peace as the deal with the day to day lives of the students. Pray for insight into complicated family situations and resources to provide adequate help where needed. And pray for God's provision in the homes and families of the teachers and counselors. May they each know Him personally and intimately in Jesus name.

The winter season in the Ozarks can be hard for everyone but for some families it is made even harder by seasonal unemployment, inadequate housing and food insecurity. Evidence of this increased hardship often shows up in the emotions and behaviors of the children at school. Counselors who are already dealing with the day to day needs of many children find a significant increase in difficult and tense situations. As one counselor put it, "We're just trying to fill in lots of gaps and help not just the children but the whole family."
Pray for wisdom, understanding, strength and adequate resources for all the area school counselors. Pray too for all those families who are trying to navigate the increased difficulties that winter brings. May they seek and find God through area resources and especially the Body of Christ in the Ozarks.

This week let's focus on the support staff in the Bradleyville schools. The bus drivers, nutrition staff, and custodians all have daily opportunities to interact with our children outside the classroom. Opportunities to share a smile, speak a word of encouragement, or just listen to a child's comment.
Pray for God to impress on each of these support staff the importance of their positions and the momentary interactions they have with the children. Pray that God would lead them in each encounter and burden their hearts to become prayer warriors for the students. Pray too for God to meet the needs of each of these workers and draw them close to Him.

In 2025, let's focus our prayer on the school districts throughout Ozark Mountain Country. Each day this week focus on Bradleyville schools.
Please pray for the administration and staff at Bradleyville. May God give wisdom and righteous judgement to the superintendent, principals, and administrative support staff as they balance the task of following governmental guidelines, supporting & guiding teachers, and meeting student's academic and emotional needs. May God give them strength, mental energy and peace sufficient for each day.

As we approach and enter into the New Year of 2025, let many hear and continue to hear the call to pray for our community and fully engage in the United Prayer Team Website by praying and sharing prayer requests and then celebrate answered prayers. May God continue to bless our community and visitors who recognize the Biblical values displayed in all 7 sectors of our community. We praise God for over 6,000 prayer's prayed that have been documented in the last 8 months. To God be the Glory!

The local school populations look different than they did at the beginning of the school year. Already many children have moved because of family situations, financial needs or other circumstances. The children have no say in the time they spend in any one place but do reap the results of this unsettled, transient lifestyle.
Please pray for these children to find compassionate and understanding teachers at each new school. Pray for teachers as they strive to help these children catch up and make progress in learning. Pray for the families to find "home" and seek & find God's wisdom, provision and hope.

As we consider, research and pray over the upcoming elections let us pray for truth and wisdom for ourselves and our brothers and sisters.
Let's ask the Lord to reveal absolute truth regarding ballot initiatives that effect our schools, our children and our families. Let's ask that every hidden agenda be revealed and every lie or half-truth be exposed. Finally let's pray that God would lead His people to stand against any candidate or legislation that would be detrimental to our schools, children or families.

Nationwide threats against schools on social media are increasing continually. Local school administrators, safety & resource officers as well as teachers are constantly attentive to watch for the safety of our students.
Please pray for wisdom, discernment and awareness for our school personnel and safety for our students. Pray also for God to reveal any hidden threats before they can be realized. Pray for counselors, teachers and administration to recognize troubled students as well and direct them to the help they need.

Words spoken and integrity displayed to our children by those placed in authority over them have life changing effects. Coaches and club sponsors hold those important positions of influence in the lives of our students.
Let's pray for those coaches & sponsors that God will guide their hearts to speak words of encouragement rather than discouragement, words of instruction and correction with kindness. May they choose to live lives of integrity before their students and set good and moral examples. May God also strengthen and encourage them as they walk in His call to our children.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver. Proverbs 25:11 ESV

Pray for revival in schools and colleges. As students experience the life-transforming power of Jesus, may the Holy Spirit move through the next generation, raising up Christian leaders who will impact the nation for decades to come.
O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. Psalm 71:17 ESV
