OUR PORTION
May 28, 2021

Prayer: Lord, You are my portion. With everything I am I seek You and pray that Your presence would go with me today. Show me how to be gracious to others in the way that You have been gracious to me. Amen. 

Scripture: You are my portion, Lord; I have promised to obey your words. I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise. Psalm 119:57-58 NIV

Sometimes we think little things are not prayer worthy. Have you ever prayed to find lost items at school or for students who are sleeping in class? Every little thing that happens in our lives matters to God. It’s unfathomable to us as human beings, but He is even concerned for the little sparrow! (Matt. 10:31) Seek His face with all your heart. Call upon His wonderful ways, even for the small things. Also, be sensitive to the little needs of your students. They can’t learn when they are upset about things that are important to them. Be like Jesus, and be merciful to them, because He has been merciful to us. Be gracious to your colleagues, because He has been gracious to us.

Quote for the Day: Remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. Rick Warren

    We sometimes forget to stop and show mercy to the student who is rebellious for no reason or is sleeping in class. It was a touching reminder to me today that we need to not only show mercy, but to pray for that child because we may or may not know what is the cause, but God does.
