Absolutely, I'd be happy to join you in prayer. Here's a prayer we can both use:
---
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today with a specific need in our hearts. You know the situation at our kindergarten, with our teacher going on maternity leave. We ask that you provide the perfect long-term substitute for this position.
Lord, you know the hearts and needs of each of the little students. Please guide the right person to this job, someone who will love and nurture the children, someone who will create a safe and joyful learning environment.
God, I also lay before you my own desires and limitations. While I feel a call to serve, I also acknowledge the stress and family needs that I'm currently managing. Please give me wisdom and peace about my role in this situation.
We trust in your provision and your plan, Lord. Thank you for always taking care of the details of our lives.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Please feel at peace knowing that you're not alone in this, and that God is always listening to our prayers. He will provide what is best for everyone involved.
