ANOTHER PRAYER BEFORE EXAMS<\/span> Dear Lord, be with us as we begin our exams, may all the work we have done bear fruit. Help us to be calm, to read the questions carefully, and keep an eye on the time. Grant us a clear mind, protect us from all anxiety. May we be considerate of others in the exam hall, and follow the instructions of those who are there to support us. Help us to remember that our exams are milestones on a longer journey, as we learn and grow into the kind of people you want us to be, Who will make a difference in the world for the better, With our knowledge, our skills, and our generous hearts.\u00a0 Amen<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
