Short School Stresses

Father, I long to make this a day of listening. It seems to me that I also need to make this a day of responsibility. At school especially, I have let things become frustrating and overwhelming. I don't like the lessons that I'm teaching, and unfortunately this year I can't just say, well, it's math class so no big deal of they don't like it. I feel like I'm letting You down when I can't make the interpretation of the Bible an alive and real thing.

Another thing that encroaches on me right now is straight up tiredness. I want to fall asleep while I'm trying to teach a lesson to the students. It doesn't make for good teaching. In the morning, I need time to rest and not rush. In the afternoon, I need more time to plan. This combination of tiredness and school stress paralyzes me as far as school stuff goes my Lord.

Now, to You who has all power and extends all grace. I've poured out a new morning concern, I'm asking that You hear my cry and have mercy on me Lord. Thank You for Your blessings.
