A Simple Prayer

Today I am thankful for a simple prayer.

During teachers in-service today, we had just found out that one of the Har-Ber teachers had been killed in a car accident that morning. We didn't know who it was yet, but one of the Springdale High teachers just suddenly asked if she could pray because she was feeling led to do so. She prayed a simple prayer for the family and for our own confidence in God's sovereignty. She even included a plea for the ability to speak to those within the room who might have questions about God as a result of the accident. I was so grateful and so moved by her prayer and by her boldness in doing that. Then to get to the high school and find out that she is going to be right next door to me all year...what a blessing on my first day.
