employee.

without limit.

Panginoon, salamat po sa pagkakataong sumubok na maging isang ganap na CPA.


Salamat po sa lahat ng mga taong nagmamahal at patuloy na sumusuporta sa aming lahat—sa aming mga kapamilya, kaibigan, guro,
kaklase, kasama na rin ng mga taong hindi namin kakilala ngunit nagbibigay sa amin ng karagdagang pag-asa upang
mapagtagumpayan ang nalalapit na pagsusulit. Gaano man kami katapang at kahanda, batid Ninyo kung ano ang tunay naming
nararamdaman sa aming mga puso. Nawa’y tanggalin Nyo lahat ng pag-aagam-agam at pagdududa sa aming puso at isipan. Muli
Ninyong ipaalala sa amin ang walang katapusang pagmamahal na matagal na Ninyong ipinamalas at ipinaramdam sa amin. Hindi
kami aabot nang ganito kalayo kung wala kaming kakayahan upang tapusin ang kahuli-huling hakbang patungo sa katuparan ng
aming mga pangarap. Sa darating na Sabado, ipanatag Ninyo nawa ang aming puso at isipan upang buo naming maalala lahat ng
aming inaral. Iniaalay po naming lahat ang Inyong ipinangakong tagumpay para sa kapurian ng Inyong Pangalan.
Lahat ng ito ay aming buong pusong ipinapanalangin sa ngalan ng Maykapal at tanging Tagapagligtas.
AMEN.
