A Prayer To Begin A New Semester For College Students
Huffington Post

It's the first day of a new semester and many of you are one step closer to graduation. You'll spend the next few weeks rearranging class schedules and adjusting to new professors. Eventually, your social life will come to an end and you'll spend the next few months making a home in the university library, suffering from stress due to a lack of sleep and binge drinking Starbucks for energy. When in doubt about how you're going to make it through the semester, pray it out. Here is a small prayer to help get you through this semester:

Dear Lord,

Today starts another new semester. Give us all as college students a stable mind to perform to the best of our ability in all that we do. Help us to study with consistency and dedication. Give us silence so that we may process the knowledge we have been taught. Let us sleep peacefully at night, so that we are refreshed and prepared for all lectures, class presentations and exams. Continue to guide us during times of trouble. Help us to realize that we have done our best possible on every school assignment. Let us be satisfied with the work we have done, but also help us to see areas where we may approve upon academically in the future.

Lord, let us never forget to devote time to give you praise and worship. Continue to teach us right from wrong and allow us to stray away from all activities that may bring negativity to our lives. Grant the professors the ability to teach each and every student. Keep all faculty and staff members on all campus universities from all hurt, harm and danger during this semester. This prayer I ask in your heavenly name, Amen!

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
