In 8th grade,I was attending a Catholic private school in Puerto Rico called "Colegio Sagrado Corazón". I had an amazing teacher that taught me more about religion and life than anyone ever has. Every day a student would start the class with a prayer. Everyone knew when their turn was; therefore, when my turn was coming up I was very excited. I googled prayers online, but I found nothing that I wanted to share with my class. I wanted my prayer to be something that inspired others, something everyone would hopefully relate to. Then I found the prayer that changed my life. I can't really explain exactly how this prayer makes me feel, but it just calms me. In moments of stress, frustrations, worries and happiness, I remind myself to read this prayer. It feels like God is padding my back and saying "Everything is going to be okay." The prayer is in Spanish so I'm going to do the best of my availability to translate. This is the Spanish Version .

Dear God, I thank you for this day.

I thank you for being able to see and hear this morning.

I am blessed because you're a sympathetic and forgiving God.

You've done so much for me and keep continuous blessing every day.

Forgive me for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you.

Please keep me safe, away from danger and harm.

Help me to start this day with a new attitude and much gratitude.

Let me make the best of each day to clear my mind so I can hear your message.

Please open my mind so I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control.

Let me continue to see sin through your eyes Lord and teach me how to recognize the bad.

Continue to bless me so I can bless others.

Keep me strong to help the weak. Keep me uplifted so I can have words of encouragement for others.

I pray for those that are lost and can not find their way. I pray for those that do not know you intimately.

I pray for those who do not believe,

but I am thankful because I believe.

I believe you change people and change things.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, battle, circumstance, or situation greater than you, Lord.

I pray that these words will be received into people's hearts, that every eye that sees them and every mouth that pronounces them confesses them willinglly.

This is my prayer...

In Jesus name, Amen.
