OPENING PRAYER

Lord, I know you are with me and love me.


Give me peace of mind
As I prepare for this time of study.
Help me to focus on my books and notes,
Keep me away from all distractions so that
I will make the best use
Of this time that is available to me.

Give me insight that I might understand


What I am studying, and help me
To remember it when the time comes.

Above all,
I thank you for all the ability to be able to study
And for the many gifts and talents
That you have given me.
Help me always to sue them in such a way
That they honour You and do justice to myself.
Amen.
