Morning Prayer

Do you still remember the delights in childhood?

At that time, we had little troubles, sorrows and anxieties. We laughed for happiness, and cried for sadness. And it is the most joyful time we have ever had. However, we don’t treasure it and just kept thinking of being adults. Childlike innocence was then flown away insensibly.

When we grow older, we might be disappointed by the adults’ life, since we need to face an entirely different world from that we faced in the past. We worry about things around us. Loads of pressure are created and make us breathless. Thus, we can no longer laugh and cry freely.

Life is hard under pressure. Then how can we ease our pressure? One way is to learn from our childhood. This means that we can try to have a simpler mind, to express ourselves freely, and to take everything calmly. You’ll find yourselves released from stress. So, when we are facing pressure and difficulties, why don’t we just step a pace backward, think less, and be more relaxed? You’ll soon discover the blessings are actually around you.

Final examination is coming. Let us try to ease our stress, by just closing our eyes, and going back to our childhood. Don’t worry too much about the result if you have tried your best, and try to view everything in a simple way. You’ll then know how to release yourselves from the pressure of examinations.

Now, please turn to hymn book page 12, we will say “Lord, Help Me” for our morning prayer. We pray for the guidance from God when facing pressure.
