Do you really believe Jesus’ words in John 15:5? — “Apart from me you can do nothing.”
As a branch draws its sustenance, or strength, from the vine in order to bear fruit, so do we find our ability to not only survive but thrive in the Lord.
As Paul noted in Philippians 4:13, “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.” If we truly believe this, we will understand how critical prayer is to teaching.
What We Do in Prayer That Makes It So Critical
- We acknowledge Him as the source of any good we can do for eternity in the lives of students. (Col. 1:9-12)
- We trust Him for the strength we need to teach. (Eph. 3:16, 20)
- We depend on Him to show us what to do and say as we teach. (James 1:5)
To be effective Bible teachers we need to constantly remember to turn to the Lord. The worksheet, Praying Like You Truly Believe HE is the Source of All You Need, available through the MinTools.com store, helps us understand how much we really do need Him.
