Prayer for today

Ama sa Langit, bigyan kami ngayong araw upang matupad ang aming
mga tungkulin bilang responsable at mabait na mag-aaral.
Bigyan kami ng gabay at pangangalaga sa pagtupad ng aming mga
gawain.
Bigyan mo kami ng tulong sa mga desisyon na aming ginagawa.
Nanalangin kami sa iyo na pagpalain ang aming mga guro para sa
matiyagang paghahatid sa amin araw-araw na mga aralin.
Pagpalain ang aming mga magulang sa patuloy na pagsuporta sa amin.
Maraming salamat, Lord sa lahat ng mga biyayang ibinibigay mo sa
aming lahat. Ikaw ang aming suporta at lakas.
Amen.
