Humble Ourselves before the Lord

As I was writing this to my niece a little while ago I decided to add it here....I was reminded of something in Sunday School a few weeks ago....the Lord not only invites you but WANTS SO MUCH for you to ask HIM for help in tackling the difficulties of your goals; but we must ask.  I remember someone in class saying, but I hate to always bother HIM with my "little" issues...HE wants us to ask.  It is important to HIM, and to us, that we humble ourselves enough to ask for HIS guidance and assistance.  The first week teaching my primary class was a trial in magnitude (I was pinched and spit on by one particularly trying young boy)...then I read something last week that if you can't get the children to behave, or be reverent or whatever it may be, then just love them.  I prayed all week to that end and yesterday my class was, for the most part, reverent and other than a couple of outbursts (and the same little boy insisting the window sill was his seat) calm and went well....the difference was more me than them.....
