Sojourners Verse and Voice – 3 May 2023

Verse of the day
I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

– Psalm 32:8

Voice of the day
When we see our neighbors cold, hungry, and suffering, we are taught not to turn a blind eye to that suffering, but to make a difference. Every day, teachers and school support staff see the suffering of their students. Instead of ignoring it, they made it part of their fight.

– Don V. Villar, “Chicago Teachers Strike to Uplift Their Students”

Prayer of the day
O, God, you are the Great Teacher, the Ultimate Creator, the Divine Encourager, the Tender Comforter, the Eternally Patient Guide. Everything we need to be for our students, you already are.

– Tammy Stallcup, “A Teacher’s Prayer”
