The Schoolroom of Life by Susan Barclay

This month’s prompt reminds me of the phrase “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” How apt when September is back to school month! 

The Schoolroom of Life

As I sit at my desk in God’s classroom

It feels like the first day again

I’m nervous and excited

About what I might learn this year

The Teacher is good, all the time

He knows the gaps in my education

What methods work best

I prepare myself for what He has in store

The Teacher holds the future

He knows just what I need

My hands are open, ready to receive

From the Author and perfecter of my faith

I’ll avail my student's heart and mind

To the One who made me

The One who knows all about me

Behold, He is doing a new thing

Because His love never fails

And His ways are higher than mine

I will trust Jehovah-jireh

As I sit at my desk in God’s classroom
