Father God, I ask for extra strength today. After the tough day yesterday, I can't do today without You carrying me through it. I feel exhausted and on the brink of tears. These kids and their dumb decisions are wearing me out mentally. It doesn't help thinking I may lose my best friend and teaching partner of 12 years. Selfish? Yes. I'm just asking for an extra portion of patience and love so that I may be able to hand it out as well as use it for myself. Thank you. InJesus's name I pray. Amen.
