Prayer for the Day 52517

It's been long and hard these past days, but today I am starting anew again. By the strength of God, I wish I can see things in a different light today. I am a teacher. These are the students. They should respect me as I should respect them. I pray that God would teach me to recognize their potential and to be able to push them to do better. I don't want to be a mean teacher. I don't want to be unreasonable. But I am okay with being not liked. They have preferences. We all do. In terms of whether I did my best, it is more than what I see in front of me. What's inside of me is also important? In order for me to see beauty in others, I want to see the beauty in myself too. I am precious and I am trying my best. Not by words, but by action--may God be my witness. But I am doing even more today. I am giving the authority to God to break me and to humble me. The lesson for me this season is to humble. To remain a servant, while gaining my confidence. So help me God.
