A Student’s Prayer
James E. Sweaney
Lord, grant me now an open mind,
Receptive, eager, quick to learn
The truths my teachers would impart;
Give me the wisdom to discern
The right from wrong; give me the power
To concentrate; give me Your sure,
Strong light of truth to guide my way
Through passages that seem obscure;
And let me know that You are near
When I must go and face a test;
Erase my every thought of fear;
Help me, Lord, to do my best.
Bless my teachers. Speak through them
In clear and loving words and give
Them the selfless joy that comes
From having helped a soul to live.
Help me retain what I have learned
And use the wisdom I possess
To reach my goal, to build a life
Of service and of happiness
My mom gave me this student prayer when I was in elementary and I still look at this in college. Thought I would post it.
