Exam Prayer
God stay close to me today, guide my study and light my way. Ease my nerves and comfort me, with peace and love so tenderly.
May I remember the things I need and understand all I study and read.
May I strive to give my best and do myself justice in each test.
May the topics I know and like appear on the exam paper to lessen my fear.
And during the moments I may feel stressed, I’ll try to remember the ways I’m blessed.
And if there are times that I feel at sea, help me to trust that you’re here with me.
Amen.     (Intercom Magazine May 2015)
