Did you know that as a believer, it is very advisable to say some prayers? But, not only at the beginning of your day but also at the beginning of your class if you’re a student or teacher.
Though most people believe that there’s no big deal in learning or teaching others every day, because it’s something anyone can do, hence, there’s no need to pray. But, this is not true.
Praying at the beginning of your class either as a teacher or student is very important because you’re indirectly putting your day and learning process into the hands of God.
Also, if you’re having a tough time as a teacher or student, the best thing to do is to go to God in prayers.
In this article, we’ll be covering 5 powerful prayers you can say before the beginning of your class, whether you’re a teacher or a student.

A teacher’s role is a very important role. As a teacher, you don’t only worry about your students, but you also tend to worry about yourself too. If you have been teaching for a long time, you will understand that teaching is not an easy profession.
This is because, if you teach and at the end of the day your students do not understand, it becomes a futile effort.
This is why you need to commit your classes to God before your class begins every day to ensure that everything will go well.
The book of Psalm 34:4-5 says:
“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.”

Today, we teachers and students are gathered before You in one heart to pray that You take control of our classes.
Let this be a fruitful day for all of us. Give our teachers the grace to teach and educate us and fill us with Your understanding that we might understand all we are taught.
Amen.”

God’s angels are always available to go on assignments for God. If you need God to send his angels of wisdom and understanding, he will do just that.
As a student, when you pray to God at the beginning of your class and you ask him to take over the day, you’re indirectly telling God that you cannot lean on your human wisdom.
You need him to bless you with divine wisdom and understanding, so you can excel as a student.
The book of Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

There’s nothing as important as the prayer of wisdom and understanding for teachers and students. As a teacher, without the divine wisdom of God, it will be very difficult to excel based on your own wisdom alone.

The same applies to students, students are advised to constantly pray to God for divine understanding.
