Prayer for Tuesday 12 January

Reflection: With the senior pupils of CNHS about to start getting ready for their prelim SQA qualifications, they are beginning to prepare their work and study over notes.
Take a moment and think to yourself, am I giving ‘this’ my all? Could I do more?
Should I watch less television and study a little more?
Could I stop taking my phone out all the time?
Work hard and you will be rewarded.
Prayer: God of Love, you are with us in every transition and change. As we enter into this new era with excitement and even some anxiety, we recall your deep compassion, presence, and abounding love. We thank you for the gifts, talents and skills with which you have blessed us. We thank you for the experiences that have brought us to this moment. We thank you for the work of others that gives breadth and depth to our own work. Be with us as we move forward, rejoicing with you and supporting one another. We ask this in your Holy Name. Amen.
School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
May I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.

“The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become – because he made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to his personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.”
C.S. Lewis

Reflection: Do you allow yourself to be taken over by God? Do you ask for his help and forgiveness in times of struggle, anxiety or when you feel everything in the world is going wrong? In this New Year, talk to god. Ask him to guide you through your troubles. Ask him to help those in need. Then you are opening your mind to his wisdom and way of life.
