8. Study Improvement Prayer

If you are preparing for your examinations, or if you feel disinterested or distracted when studying, say this short prayer just before you sit down to study each day and you will find a marked improvement in your study patterns.

 

Dear God, I pray to thee

Help me overcome my procrastination

To sit down to study

Focus my mind and still it please

Sharpen my attention

And make my concentration

As sharp as a laser beam

Open the windows of my mind

So I may absorb and understand

All that I study

Strengthen my memory

So I may recall

My lessons easily

Help me overcome all resistance

That I may feel towards my learning

Bless me with strong mental powers

Of clarity, concentration and commitment

Towards my studies
