Prayer for strength

[Maharg]

I entitled this thread prayer for strength, but I'm not sure how to ask people to pray. I just know that I am feeling full of sadness and anger and hurt and this is causing me to get at times very anxious and depressed.

I had some negative comments from my daughter's teacher yesterday, and at the moment, anything negative feels like the last straw and seems to add weight to a massive burden on top of me that I am struggling to get out from under.

I want to be able to pray properly, to cast my burdens on the Lord but I am finding it incredibly difficult. I need to be able to get out of the mood that I am in so that I can actually remember what I need to say to the teacher. I got to a point this morning where I felt I knew what to say and that I had cast off the depression and anxiety, and then when I told the teacher I wanted to talk to her about what she had said yesterday she told me there was nothing to worry about, and it has kind of disarmed me and now I am struggling to work out what I need to say to her. I know that I am angry but I don't want to go in to see her timidly. I want to stand up for my daughter. I don't want to let her down or make things worse.

Please pray for strength of mind and character and courage, and for some clarity of thought to come.

Thank you.

O dear God, I pray in agreement for this dear loving mother who is feeling hopeless. Please intervene in her situation. Please come through for her Father. Please annoint her with the right things to say to the teacher on her daughter's behalf. Please give this dear mother victory! Give her new strength and renewed hope for an awesome future for herself and for her daughter. I ask of You, in Jesus mighty name I pray, Amen.

Praying that God steadies you, grants you wisdom, discernment, clarity, and steady confidence to say what is needed to be said to your daughter's teacher. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen.

Praying for wisdom, insight and guidance and favor. I think you are right to want to talk to the teacher and show support for your daughter. I worked in the school system for years and saw that the parents who speak up, nicely of course, are the ones whose children are most likely to be treated with respect. (Of course many teachers try to treat all their students well, but not all.)

Lord, send her any help she needs and let her have the strength she needs. Be there for her and show her you are listening, that you will be there every step of the way. Send her your love, peace and comfort. I pray for this, in Jesus name, Amen.

Thank you all for praying. I had victory

I went back to the school that day and realised I was still too upset to talk to the teacher so I explained to her that there had been so much negative information in one go that I was still too upset to be able to talk about it properly and arranged to meet the following day. I then had prayer that night from lots of people and prayed myself again yesterday, and then practiced talking to the teacher in my living room! The pretend talking wasn't working, as I kept drifting into being negative and defensive, so instead I prayed that God would help me to say only positive things and focused on Joshua 1:9. I then had three people praying while I spoke to the teacher.

The result was that I only said positive things and made helpful suggestions and put the teacher's mind at rest and didn't get offended or defensive. It was the most successful interaction I have had for some time. They are giving her extra help with her handwriting now and having a member of staff sitting with her to help her concentrate better.

My little girl has been tired lately, and she likes to be alone when she is tired, so I think this is what has been making school difficult for her. I am trying to let her sleep as long as we have time for in the mornings, but if someone could pray for wisdom for me to know of anything else I should do or say to make things easier for her and to make school go more smoothly, I should be very grateful.

Thank you so much for all the loving support and prayer.
