Pray that God draw the hearts of the students at the School of Promise to Himself
Pray for creative ways and opportunities to serve and reach the community
Pray that I would be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit
Pray for wisdom as I teach how to best reach the children with the Love of Christ
Pray that I would be joyful in all circumstances, patient in trials and dependent on the Lord.
Pray that God would work in the hearts of the people that I come in contact with, that I would be ready with an answer as God provides opportunities
Pray for language learning

Requests

"Oh God,

May I never be a blot or a blank in life, cause the way of truth to be evil spoken of, or make my liberty an occasion to the flesh.

May I by love serve others, and please my neighbor for his good edification.

May I attend to what is ornamental as well as essential in religion, pursing things that are lovely and of good report.

May I render my profession of the gospel not only impressive, but amiable and inviting.

May I hold for the way of Jesus with my temper as well as my lips.

May I say to all I meet, I am journeying towards the Lord's given place, come with me for your good.

May I be prepared for all allotments of this short changing, uncertain life, with a useful residence in it.

May I be in character and conduct like the dew of heaven, the salt of the earth, the light of the world, the fullness of the fountain.

May I never be ashamed of Jesus or His words, be deterred from fulfilling a known duty through fear, be discouraged from attempting it through weakness.

May I see all things in a divine light so that they may inform my judgement and sanctify my heart.

And by all the disciplines of they providence, may I be increasingly prepared for life's remaining duties, the solemities of a dying hour, and the joys and services that lie beyond the grave."

A prayer, taken from "The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers & Devotions"
