I'm trying to clean my belongings and throw out anything that no longer sparks joy to me (as Marie Kondo says) and saw a postcard with a prayer written on it. I used to post it on my table during my college days. Thought to share the prayer before I totally throw the card out. Also, I think it is applicable not only to students, but to everyone.. just change some of the words. 😊
By the way, I didn't write the prayer. I just copied it from the internet. So, thank you and credits to the person who wrote it.
Here it goes.
Oh My Dear Lord, I offer to you this day,
All that I will do and all that I will say;
The good and the bad that today will meet me,
The joys and the trials, all I offer thee.
I offer you the hours I spend studying,
May I use time not idling nor hurrying;
Help me from the short quiz to the long exam,
Make me responsible; scold me when I cram.
I offer to you the time with friends I spend.
Thank you, my Lord, for the love,
Through them, you send;
May I not be selfish, not seek consolations,
Let me keep my peace in little irritations.
And through the day, I'll reserve some time for you,
Alone in prayer let me learn to love you;
As I bear my heart, you'll see all its weakness,
Redeemed only by your mercy and goodness.
And as evening comes, I'll lay myself to sleep,
Through the night, I'll give my soul for you to keep;
As I close my eyes I'll tell you once again,
Thank you, my Lord, for being a friend. Amen.
