Humble me, Father

Dear Lord our God in Heaven,
Please forgive me for my selfishness. I am so disappointed that I am not the original creator and inventor for an education journal that is not based around one organization. When I discovered Education Week and Teacher Magazine I became sad and disengaged and disheartened. I am glad there is such a resource out there for educators, I am still saddened that I did not come up with it and now my dream is over. Please forgive me for feeling this way. I should be glad and thankful someone thought of it first and that it is out there helping others. Please humble me, Lord. I keep thinking maybe someone can come up with an idea to salvage Educate & Inspire, but that is selfish, too. Please wash me clean of this sin of greed and pride. It was not the purpose of the journal in the first place. I wanted to help children and educators. I did not know it was important for me to get recognized for it or to do it myself. I am ashamed of this and I bow before you in shame and ask you to humble me. Help me to forget this venture and put my faith and energy in other ventures that you have set out for me. Obviously, this is not what you intended for me to do. Please help me find and focus on that purpose and grant me peace of mind. Have mercy on me, Father.

In your name I pray,
AMEN.
