What happens when teachers pray?

Hey Transformational Teacher,

In this episode, I talk about what prayer is and what happens when we pray. 

  • Prayer is communicating with God.
  • Prayer is praying God’s word over life situations.
  • Prayer is listening to what God has to say to you.
  • Prayer is showing God that we can’t do life on our own and that we need His help.

When we pray as teachers we are surrendering our plan and will to God and receiving what He has for us and our classroom. I believe when we pray we are asking God to have His way in our lives and our classroom. 

This weeks tip: Pray God's word over your situations - Make God bigger than your situations - Remain thankful throughout the process 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18  Rejoice always and delight in your faith; be unceasing and persistent in prayer;  in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

This weeks action steps: 

  • Set aside time daily to pray for yourself, your classroom and zone in on any students as you feel led. 
  • Pray and anoint students chairs and desk as much as you can 
  • Find scripture promises to pray

About the Podcast

The Transformational Teacher Podcast
Does having a relationship with God really help me to flourish in every area of life.

Will it make a difference if I Invite Him into my classroom?

Will it help me experience peace and joy despite challenging situations that arise?

Do I have time to connect with God before the school day starts?

Teachers, if you are asking these questions and feel like teaching is not just a job but it is a ministry then this is the place for you.

On this podcast I will talk about faith, mindset, and self-care. I believe God desires for us to flourish in our relationship with him it plays a vital role in transforming our lives, which will help us transform our classroom His way, When we teach with Jesus and see things from His viewpoint those anxieties and classroom challenges that try to trip us up will no longer do that because God will give strength, the peace, the wisdom that is needed for us to rise up and teach with joy and peace

Hi, I’m D’Toya Dove, the host of The Transformational Teacher Podcast!

I’m a Christian Teacher, podcast host, and the founder of The Transformational Teacher, where I empower educators to grow in their faith, embrace self-care, and adopt a Kingdom Growth Mindset to unlock joy and peace. With over 16 years of experience as a Pre-K teacher, I understand the joys and challenges of teaching firsthand—and I’ve experienced how transformational it can be to invite God into every part of our journey.

Through my 15 Kingdom Keys Framework, I guide educators to align their teaching with God’s purpose, helping them discover peace and joy in the classroom and beyond. But I want you to know, I’m walking this path with you. Every day, I’m learning to trust God more, lean into His strength, and find balance between faith, teaching, and life.

Whether it’s through faith-filled encouragement, practical strategies, or self-care tips, my mission is to help you thrive as a teacher and make a lasting Kingdom impact.
