Hi there,

I am so grateful to anyone who can offer a prayer for me. I am a substitute teacher and do not have a lot of experience running my own classroom. I have a great love for children and have awesome relationships with the students I sub for. Today, a job came available that would be perfect for me with students I already know! However, I have severe anxiety and absolutely no confidence in myself (specifically in terms of doing a job interview - I freak right out! Not a good impression!). I ask please for prayers - prayers so I know if this is the job God wants me to have; prayers for confidence and the knowledge (I know it's there somewhere!) to respond to the tough questions; peace in my heart regardless of the outcome; and prayers for a major confidence boost in myself (I am always comparing myself to others and deciding they're better for the job than me, so why bother applying.)

I find that my lack of confidence has held me back many times before in terms of applying for jobs. I cannot go on like this. It's time to settle down and really get my career started. I really fear letting myself and others down. Please, any prayers would be appreciated more than I could ever say!
