A new dimension to my prayer for work

I used to pray that I would be God's instrument to my students before I met them. Over time, I got lazy and did not pray this. However, since it was an extra prayer to my usual daily prayer time, things are not compromised even though I don't do this anymore.

I've realised that if I turn to God on a daily basis, He will use me as I go about the rest of the day. It comes from the establishment of my daily prayer routine. I do not need to say the extra prayer as I used to. He still grants me inspiration to go about my lessons, according to the different students I teach, and self-awareness when I am about to lose control of my temper, to calm down and retain the bringing of His patience and love to them.

I remember someone telling me that I do not need to go for Charismatic sessions on a weekly basis, as I used to. Once they have been established as a foundation, the graces will stay in me even if I go for them less often. I am living this out. I still listen to Hillsongs at home and whenever I do go for the sessions, I realise that I'm just returning home for nourishment before I set out again. I also remember someone else telling me that the Spirit communicates with me wherever I am. It is not restricted to a particular setting. The most powerful sign of this truth is when my mum's pastor friend told me that He is very strong in me. I am privileged.
