PRAYER FOCUS FOR TODAY

Today, let’s pray for workers in schools who are not teachers. This includes counselors, aids, child-specific nurses, nurses, janitors, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, security guards, pupil-appraisal teams, and others I may have left out. These people serve in vital roles and sometimes are closer to certain children than their regular teachers. Pray for them as the guide students daily.
