Exam Prayer


Prayer for Preparation to Study

Grant me peace, O God, as I open my books and notes. Open my mind to Thy will, and may I dedicate these hours to Thy Son, Jesus Christ.

Offer me insight, O Lord, that I might understand these things, and see them as a part of Thy Kingdom.

May I offer Thee my best in reading and learning that it may be a part of my discipleship.

O Jesus Christ, may this be a worthy time that is faithful to Thee and bring me closer to the goals I have in order to serve Thee. I offer this time and prayer in Thy holy Name. Amen.

Second Day of Exams

"Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars. … The first step to wisdom is the fear of the Lord, and knowledge of the Most Holy One is understanding." Proverbs 9: 1,10 (REB)

Whether I have an exam or not, incline my ear to Thy word, and open my eyes to Thy presence. It is so easy to forget that Thou art with us.

Direct my energy to the accomplishment of Thy will for me, allowing my spirit to detect the direction in which I might best be Thy disciple.

Today I find myself immersed in words, sentences, symbols and equations – whatever language which my subject uses. May they speak clearly and with distinction.

May my desk be an altar where I may lay down my life through my efforts, and dedicate it all to Thee by quickening my knowledge for Thy will to be done. Amen.

Final exams, good luck people!!
Hmm... does that sound famiiar. Yeap. GOOD LUCK. Do you guys really need luck in doing your exams. Isn't that a stab at your friend's confidence. Probably wishing good luck to your electrical engineering friend, do you think he needs luck in trying to solve a complex problematic mathematical question. Studying is a process, therefore it involves work, hard work, and little luck, if any. Maybe for some, saying good luck is an insult, because you've been studying hard for the whole semester, and what you get is only LUCK. Try saying "good SKILL". :)  

Celebrating the Second Sunday of Easter last Saturday, Fr. Chris on his sermont asked us whether we feel doubt in facing the upcoming final exam. *silent in CSS* Why should we. "Doubt no longer, but believe" is the statement which shines from the Gospel, the statement is also the theme for CSS Final Blessing Mass (blessing for graduating students & for us students taking exams). 

Fr. Chris : "Why doubt if preparation have been made, have faith."

Faith is a conduct or work inspired by the complete surrender to mental acceptance. By saying 10 Hail Marys before exam will not help you if didn't prepare.  

In James 2:14-16, we show our faith by our works. Faith is when preparation have been made and applying it during exam, with this, we no longer have doubt in entering the exam hall, but believe we can answer the question with confidence.

So, friends ALL THE BEST in your finals!!!

Prayer in a Time of Anxiety

When I am truly anxious, O God, remind me of my love of Your Son, Jesus Christ. May I realize that I will not be abandoned, but am accompanied always by Him. 

Dispel any sense of self-concern, and remind me that others are feeling the same tensions, which is only natural in times of stress. 

Grant me insight , God of Wisdom, to see the things that have been taught, to understand them in unfolding story of Your Creation, and our place within it. 

May I lay my head down to rest confident that You are always with us, through the love and affection of Your Son, Jesus Christ, my Redeemer and Lord. Amen.
