When students don't respond like I hoped for, I...

the performer in me feels like a failure. I analyze what I could have done differently, how I must not have prayed enough, or done enough to get people there. I have issues, I know. The Lord is working to reveal and change my heart, albeit slowly, but above is my initial response. I have been experiencing this lately through my Bible Studies in the College of Ed and Johnston as the attendance at both of these is so sporadic. The Lord is also using this to reveal in my heart, where my heart just isn't in things, and sometimes I go into things hoping students won't show up and I don't trust in His grace and that His Spirit will work despite me if I will trust, ask and allow it.
