My son has been feeling isolated and bullied by his teacher, causing him to have depressive thoughts and tendencies, so I tried to meet with the teacher but was refused. My old way to handle this would have been to “fight” with my words, but I prayed for God to bless me with wisdom on how to handle this situation. The principal arranged a meeting, and I prayed again for God to guide my tongue and give me control of my anger.
The meeting went very well! I got my point across in a respectful manner and felt the Lord empowered me to speak for my son and the other students being affected by this teacher’s actions. This was a prime example of learning to know God on a personal level through trust and relying on God’s guidance in the midst of trials, which is what we have been covering in our virtual bible study.
