One of the ways you will be attacked is with the feeling that you are inadequate to answer a call to represent God with only your own powers. But you have access to more than your natural capacities, and you do not work alone.” Even though we might not all be Sunday school teachers this principle applies to anyone that enters the teaching profession.
