PRAYER FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL
Dear Lord Jesus,
Perfect teacher, wisest of the wise, You lived on earth in complete humanity. You remember Your own days of growing and learning. Help me in my preparation, not only to gain new information, but also to grow in real wisdom.
I do not ask You to give me the highest grades in the class, but rather a clear mind that will make my own best possible. Help me to show love, not only to my friends, but to all, including those that seem to be unlovable. Save me from selfish pride that would lord my successes over my classmates; rather, give me the desire to help those who find it harder to learn.
You know the power of temptation. Deliver me from the temptation of laziness, and help me to be willing to put forth the effort necessary to succeed. Keep me from trying to make my way by dishonesty. Open my eyes to see the wonders of Your world and the goodness of Your grace.
As I grow in learning, make me a sharp and powerful tool, fully equipped to perform Your holy will in this world. Help me to see the earthly calling I should follow. Lord, there are many times in my life here that I will fail You, my teachers, and myself. Thank you for loving me in spite of my sins and for giving me the assurance that You are always with me. I ask all this of You because You have encouraged me to bring my needs to You in prayer and have promised to hear and answer. In Jesus' name.
Amen
