He was a seasoned school teacher — dedicated, passionate, and weary.

His classroom was full of chaos. Many of the children came from low-income homes, some without fathers, and they brought their brokenness with them. Disruption was normal. Disrespect was common. Despair hovered.

He had tried everything he knew — structure, consequences, encouragement, strategy. Nothing really stuck. Nothing reached their hearts.

Then he encountered the message of *The Awesome Power of Blessing.*

Curious but cautious, he began to quietly apply it.

He didn’t announce anything. With sensitivity to his secular workplace, and aware of his employer’s stance on anything overtly Christian, he simply began arriving early — before the children came.

And he blessed the room.

He spoke blessings aloud — softly, but with faith.

He declared peace over every desk.

He blessed attention spans, respect, joy in learning, and harmony among classmates.

He blessed each child by name as he remembered them, especially the disruptive ones.

He did it daily. Quietly. Consistently.

Then, the change came.

He began to notice calmer mornings. Softer faces. Less resistance. More engagement.

One child, usually angry and volatile, began offering to help clean up.

Another who had refused to speak began reading aloud.

And soon, something unexpected happened at home too. His own children began asking, “Dad, can you bless me before I leave?

Now, they won’t go to school without it.

The teacher smiles. The principles of blessing have not only transformed his classroom — they’ve become the foundation of his home.

He still keeps it discreet. No public prayers. No preaching. But the presence of God goes ahead of him every day — through the spoken blessing of a believing heart.
