The Discipline of a Student

Oh Lord, I know you know I have been thanking you a lot lately But today I want to pray ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ Almighty Lord You know me and you know how in life I pine to succeed I know all that I want And I know what to do in order to get it all The will power, emotional power, confidence... certainty ...and all that entails the achievement of a dream But there is one thing I specifically need For with it my success is guaranteed Almighty Lord Please give me the discipline of a student Please make me endear my keenest efforts on my chief pursuits Just as though I’m about to sit for an exam... for I know in a way I am Please give me the sense to properly manage my time And take from my heart the desire to waste time ...and the vice of procrastination In its place fill me with the fear of punishment and failure ...if I go about work like a truant does ...spending too much money here... and too much time there Please sharpen my focus like that of a student aiming for that higher diploma... ...knowing the realisation of it will chance him a higher degree Help me aptly execute the duties entrusted unto me For its exceptionality will lift me to the reach of even higher doors Almighty, please fill me with the discipline of a student To sacrifice my little peer pleasures now... and invest all my heart into my pursuits Knowing all too well that as that an empowering reality awaits me ...at the end of my truest efforts Help me to be honest with myself ...knowing that all I do now ...is first of all for my own benefit And that if I do it so well It will benefit and inspire even many more to garner more of their potentials Now my Almighty Lord, Think of this as a business proposal I have the dream and capability You have the power over reality If you take my dream and capability seriously ...and assist me with your power over reality Very soon I will succeed, and there will be many wanting to be like me All these shall be to your gain too for I shall direct them your way as proof So you see Lord, your help and my efforts will tomorrow make us both a happier lot Think about it ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ Mhmm... Who am I kidding, I know you did think about it and that’s why you decided to make me live Thanks Lord

YOu are such a deep thinking person. If you keep this attitude, I am sure you are going to go very far in life. Gosh, I spend a huge amount of time here, I wonder if that would be considered a waste of time or if I can count it as a good use of my time. That one is sometimes tricky for me to think about!, Andrea
