Please pray for my 4th grade daughter

She is a straight A student at a Christian school.

She has been the favorite student of every teacher she has had thus far. She is beautiful to boot. But we are noticing a flaw in her that concerns us, the need to make people like her. Her teachers have also noticed this.

Today this tendency finally brought forth some bad fruit. Her class was taking a history exam that was quite difficult IMO for 4th graders. She had spent hours preparing for the test. Sadly, a friend of hers begged her for some of the answers while the teacher was distracted. Equally sad, my daughter complied. The other girl felt guilty and confessed to the teacher. When I picked up my daughter from school today her teacher came over to our car and confronted my daughter (gently and firmly) in front of me. My daughter confessed her guilt. The school is determining what corrective measure to meet out to both girls.

I live in Realville and as a parent I know our kids will sin. And while I must correct her, I see this as such a teachable moment to help her understand the gospel in a deeper way. Not just God's forgiveness, but the condition of our sinful hearts and how being a man pleaser will take us to destruction.

Please pray that God will grant us wisdom as parents.
