Strength For School Leaders-A Daily Devotional

Strength for School Leaders

A Daily Devotional to Steady Your Heart in the Work

by Tina Curtis

School leadership is holy work…and I know firsthand it can feel heavy. Between discipline, classroom visits, parent concerns, data demands, and the constant stream of decisions, it’s easy to pour yourself out all day and realize you’re running on empty.

After 30 years in education and 20 years as a campus administrator, I know the pressure leaders carry, and I also know the strength God provides. I created Strength for School Leaders for principals and assistant principals who want to stay grounded in faith, lead with wisdom, and finish the year with joy and endurance..not burnout.

This devotional is my way of sitting beside you in the work and helping you start (or reset) your day with God—even when time is tight. My prayer is that these pages steady your heart, renew your courage, and remind you that you never lead alone.
