A 140-day prayer journal for the teacher who needs to be taught too — a daily place to pray and be filled before first bell, before the classroom empties you again.

For School Teachers — Creating a Daily Prayer Discipline. Each day sits beside a quoted line from a Christian writer across the centuries — kept in their own voice, with a quiet word-gloss underneath so the older language opens rather than closes.

• A daily page for the teacher who wants to be fed before they feed thirty.
• Five honest minutes a day — before first bell, before papers, before patience runs out.
• For the teacher whose own soul is not graded by the end of the day.

Seven stages across 140 days: Stage 1 — First Light from God · Stage 2 — The Ground Beneath · Stage 3 — Saying Yes to God · Stage 4 — Held While You Wait · Stage 5 — Growing Closer to God — Quietly · Stage 6 — This Stretch · Stage 7 — The Walk Continues.

This is prayer for teachers done daily — five honest minutes in plain English, with every older line gently glossed.

Inside these pages you will also find:

• Seven daily elements, every page — Opening, Reflect, Rest, Today's Focus, Touch, a quoted Scripture or Christian writer with a plain-English gloss, and a closing Meditation — one steady rhythm you learn once and return to for 140 days.
• Voices of trusted Christian writers, named and attributed — every quoted line carries its source — classic devotional and contemplative writers across the centuries — drawn from a curated corpus and selected to fit each journal's particular shape. No anonymous quotations.
• Every older line opened underneath — Scripture in the King James Version and classic Christian prose come with a plain-English word gloss directly under each quote — thy, thee, unto, communion — nothing stays out of reach.
• Real interludes between each section — Commentary, Poem, A Prayer for This Season, and a closing Reflection sit between each of the seven sections — full devotional rhythm, not just dividers.
• Written prayers from great writers — and space for your own — selected prayers from saints and faithful authors carry you forward, with A Prayer for This Season pages for your own words to come.
• A poem for every section — short, unhurried passages that carry the stage's feeling without preaching — small enough to remember, deep enough to return to.

Sample prompt: "What does God want to pour into you before the bell rings tomorrow?"

Most devotionals give you a paragraph and move on. This one gives you seven steady elements every day — opening, reflection, rest, focus, touch, attributed quote, meditation — for 140 days.

You know the Sunday evening dread, and the particular weight of knowing twenty-eight small humans are about to need everything from you again tomorrow? Underneath is a quieter question — about whether the calling that brought you here is still the calling, or whether something in you has quietly run out. This journal sits with that quieter question. Five honest minutes a day, before the bell or after the marking. The work does not get less work. But the why begins to settle back underneath the what, and the classroom becomes again the place you were meant to be.

A daily page for the teacher who wants to be fed before they feed thirty. Written for the teacher whose own soul is not graded by the end of the day. Open to day one.
