๐Ÿ“… Day 17: Staff


Scripture:
“May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be kind to you. May the Lord show favor toward you, and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24–26


Prayer:
Lord, today we remember every staff member who makes a school run. The custodians who arrive early and stay late. The cafeteria workers who serve with joy. The secretaries who answer every call and calm every panic. The aides, bus drivers, security officers, and volunteers—those who may never stand in front of a classroom but whose impact is felt in every hallway and heart.

We ask that You bless them richly. Give them strength for their labor and dignity in their work. Let them feel appreciated and protected. May they know that what they do matters—that they are seen not just by You, but by the students whose days are made brighter and safer because of their care.

Let the culture of our schools shift to honor every role. May kindness, respect, and gratitude flow freely from students, teachers, and administrators to the staff who serve so faithfully behind the scenes.

Amen.


Go a Step Further:
Write a thank-you card, deliver a treat, or simply say “thank you” to a school staff member today. These quiet heroes often carry burdens no one sees. Your gratitude may be the encouragement that carries them through.
