Starting Right


I have really been busy with my thesis paper in the past weeks. Could you imagine? Almost everyday, I was spending 5 hrs in the library trying to get the paper done with. It was tough! Everyone has been doing their paper with a group and unfortunately I’m defending mine alone. At first, I thought it was ok to do the paper alone, but, when I started doing it, getting the data and stuff, it was really tiring and tedious. Well, of course, doing it alone has some advantages also. There are no distractions, no anxiety of a group mate not doing the paper well enough, no compromising of study ethics, and one get to know every little thing in the paper. But then again, one still needs all the help he can get. Of course, that includes the help from Him. Besides having enough sleep, a prayer jump-starts your day and sets your mind to do things well during the day. Do you have one? Well, here’s what I say everyday. I got this from a prayer book a friend gave me. Maybe you can use this also. Remember, a prayer isn’t a prayer if it doesn’t come from the heart. So, hear it is.


Oh my God, I adore You and
I love You with all my heart
I thank You for Having created me,
Having saved by Your grace and
For having preserved me during the night.
I offer You all my prayers, works,
joys and sufferings of this day.
Grant that they may be all according to your will and
For Your greater glory.
Keep me from all sin and evil and
May your grace be with me always and
With those I love. Amen.

I finally am able to see your blog. Interesting entry. Though I don't have an answer for the question. I do have a nightly-prayer of sorts. Ü
