School can be tough, but prayer can bring comfort. In the midst of exams, homework, and challenges, taking a moment to pray can provide students with a sense of peace and guidance. Here are three powerful prayers for students: one to ask for help, one before studying inspired by St. Thomas Aquinas, and one after studying. These prayers offer support and assurance as students navigate their academic journey.
Prayer for Students
Under your patronage, dear Mother,
and calling on the mystery of your Immaculate Conception,
I desire to pursue my studies and my literary labors:
I hereby solemnly declare, that I am giving myself to these studies chiefly to the following end:
that I may better contribute to the glory of God and to the promotion of your veneration among men.
I pray you, therefore, most loving Mother, who are the Seat of Wisdom, to bless my labors in your loving-kindness.
Moreover, I promise with true affection and a willing spirit,
as it is right that I should do,
to ascribe all the good that shall come to me therefrom,
wholly to your intercession for me in God’s holy presence.
Amen.
Prayer before Study by St. Thomas Aquinas
Lord, true source of light and wisdom,
give me keen sense of understanding,
a retentive memory and a capacity to grasp things correctly.
Grant me the grace to be accurate in my expositions and the skill to express myself with thoroughness and clarity.
Be with me at the start of my work,
guide its progress and bring it to completion. Grant this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer after Study
Lord, pour out on us the Spirit of understanding, truth, and peace. Help us to strive with all our hearts to know what is pleasing to you, and when we know your will make us determined to do it.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer before Examinations
Heavenly Father,
I praise and thank you
for all the blessings
you have given me as a student.
I pray to you, in Jesus’ name, and
to send me your Holy Spirit
to inspire and enlighten me as I take my exams.
Remove from my heart all anxieties and fear.
Give me a keen understanding,
a retentive memory, and the ability to comprehend the test questions
and answer them correctly.
Help me to successfully finish it
according to your Holy Will
in the mighty Name of Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
