A Prayer for Students
A contemporary student's prayer in the tradition of St.
Lord of all wisdom, be with me as I study.
Sharpen my attention, strengthen my memory, and give me love for the truth rather than only for the grade.
Where I have left things too late, help me begin anyway.
Where I am afraid of failing, remind me that my worth is not measured here.
Bless my teachers and those I study beside.
Let what I learn become useful to others and never a source of pride. Amen.
