One of the easiest ways to develop community in your class is to take some time to ask students about their concerns and needs. Not only does this allow your students to share with one another about their lives, it also helps you as a teacher know how to speak to their needs from God's Word. If you have committed to praying daily for your students, this time also allows you to update your prayer list with new requests and answers.
One of our Sunday school teachers has an admirable method for class prayer. Every week, he brings a half-sheet of paper for each student with a list of prayer requests his class has been praying for, as well as recent answers to prayer. The class takes time to read through the list, add requests, and pray for the needs. As a result these prayer requests are not forgotten immediately after the brief time of prayer, but this list can guide the students' prayers throughout the week.
Questions you may want to consider include:

• How long should you take for prayer during the typical class period?
• How will you track ongoing prayer requests and answers?
• How can you ensure an appropriate level of privacy/confidentiality?

What does it mean to be a Sunday school teacher? Probably for most, the mental image they have of a Sunday school teacher is a picture of a person at the front in a church classroom, teaching their students. The actual ministry of the best Sunday school teachers, however, includes far more.
The best Sunday school teachers are, in a real sense, like a pastor to their class. These teachers do not see their job beginning and ending with the "Sunday school hour." Rather, they work throughout the week to build a relationship with her students, minister to them spiritually, and train them to follow God. As such, a vital part of the Sunday school teachers’ work is to pray for their students and their needs on a daily basis.
What should the teacher do in order to know how to pray for students?

1. Pray for God's will for your students, including their salvation, entire sanctification, spiritual growth, and involvement in Christian service.
2. Keep a notebook or journal (hard copy or digital) of the prayer requests and praises of your students.
3. Pray regularly for the Holy Spirit to reveal how you should be praying for your students.

Heavenly Father, As our classes study this lesson today, help them to understand the truth that God tolerates no competition to His lordship of our lives. If there are any who are not living fully surrendered lives to Christ, may they repent and find grace in Your sight. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
