A Sub's Prayer

I just realized that if the baby comes early, I might find myself in front of a classroom full of first graders tomorrow. In order to prepare myself, I've composed a little prayer:

Dear Jesus,
Thank you for keeping me safe and allowing me to enjoy another wonderful, carefree summer. As this school year has started, help me to motivate my students to work diligently and to respect those around them as they gradually grow into strong citizens of this world. Give me enough patience to deal with a classroom of little children "telling me how to do it," and the humor and fortitude it takes to make it through the day.
