Pray for your class members. Just as the Savior prayed for Peter (see Luke 22:32), you should pray by name for those you teach, seeking to understand their specific needs. As you do so, Heavenly Father will “prepare their hearts” (Alma 16:16) and help you know what to teach in order to meet their needs (see Teaching in the Savior’s Way, 6).
Alma 16:16 And there was no inequality among them; the Lord did pour out his Spirit on all the face of the land to prepare the minds of the children of men, or to prepare their hearts to receive the word which should be taught among them at the time of his coming
I've been praying for the hearts of others more lately. I pray for my heart too. There's little (some big) stoney bits in there. The world is hard and getting harder. Sometimes people call it being jaded. (Jaded-tired, bored, or lacking enthusiasm, typically after having had too much of something. Often used as cynical or apathetic).
It's one thing to be careful and aware. That can slip over into pessimistic and cynical fairly easy though. Make sure you're praying for the hearts of those around you but also for your own. Pray for a wise heart that can be strong, careful, firm, and steady but also kind, merciful, and meek.
