A Student's Prayer
IN CHINESES ¤¤¤å
Dear Father, help me to realize that these are my years of opportunity. Help me
to know that this is the portion of my life set aside for "growing in wisdom" as well as in
stature," a time to develop responsibility.
Grant me the power to face up to the best that you have given me, to find my talens,
to develop them and to employ them that they may do the most in Thy service.
Open my eyes that I may marvel at the beauty of Thy creation, that the wonders of
Thy universe may find reponsiveness in me
May I have appreciation of all students everywhere, a oneness with them surmounting
color, race, or creed.
Give me gratitude for living in a land where youth may have these years of freedom,
where education is mine just for taking, for parents willing to sacrifice that I may grow
and learn, for teachers that would share with me their knowledge, where work proves
difficult, give me courage to rise to the challenge of it.
Let me sense Thy nearness standing ready to supply me with the extra power I need to
see it completion. And as I close this chapter of my life and look ahead to wider horizons,
may I be able to do so with a feeling of accomplishment, a sense of satisfaction for a job well
done, in knowing that I have not failed Thee in these growing years.
These things I ask in the name of the greatest Teacher who was Thy son. Amen.
I saw this prayer a couple months ago in my church, I feel so good after I read it!
This is a prayer with wisdom, to the Christians, it could help them on the growing of spiritual life,
to non Christians, it could help them to know God, and to think why the life exits?
Hope this prayer could also gives you any enlightenment!
