One week from today I will be standing in my classroom ready to start another year of teaching. If the Lord brings me to your mind once in awhile, here's what you can pray for:
Physical health and strength. I need it.
I am continuing to meditate upon a question I encountered in my reading: "What is the soul meaning of education?" Important question to consider, don't you think? As the Spirit teaches me what is required to "educate" the souls of my students, pray that He will empower me to do so even if/even when it conflicts with education as we practice it today.
As always, pray that whenever a student thinks, "I have Mr. Iten's class next," that they will feel that there, in that place, they will be safe academically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. (Even if they haven't done their work.
)
That each day He will make me sensitive to the needs of each student.
That each day I will rely on the Spirit's power and insights and not my own. That my agenda will never interfere with His.
