A Student's Prayer

Lord,

Grant me a quiet heart, before the examination starts.
Teach me to use my leisure hours, to reinvigorate my powers.
My mind from daydreams liberate, give me the will to concentrate.
From all the distractions set me free, that in my studies I may be.
A students with this sole intent, to make my work a sacrament.
From my faint heart to love expel, all failures, fears that therein dwell.
And from my pillows drive away, all dark foreboding of the day.
Help me in faith to rest so deep, that I may have untroubled sleep.
While notes and lessons I prepare, may I not lose my zest for prayer.
And may I not forget to look, for daily guidance in Thy book.
In quietness, confidence and peace, may I have swift and sure release.
From needless fears and apprehension, from outward strain and inward tension,
May I ever grateful be, to all who offer prayers for me.
While myself intercede, for all other students too I plead.
So may examinations find, each one alert in heart and mind.
Thus inward joy and peace possessing, exams will prove a source of BLESSINGS.

Amen.

To everyone out there still mugging hard for our papers. We all need it. *hugz*
