Opening Prayer before an Academic Contest

Dear Lord, as we gather before you to participate in this academic contest, make us aware that we do this competition not for our own glory but to glorify your name.

Grant your wisdom that the contestants will value more the camaraderie and cooperation that would happen today more that the glory of winning.

Allow the losers to learn that they are already winners because of their willingness to share their talents. Let the winners learn that they succeeded because of your blessing and guiding presence.

Bestow your generosity and love to all of us present today and bless also those who are left at home. Whatever we accomplish in this competition, we offer all of these to you.

Let this competition serve as a way to praise your name and spread your good news. This we ask through Christ, our Lord, Amen.

A Valentine’s Day Poem

Valentine Tonight

Sweet thing you are to me
The only one I know who’s lovely
My angel, who compares to you?
Valentines wouldn’t be the same without you…

Opening Prayers for a Thanksgiving Party

Lord, as we gather for this Thanksgiving Party, may you bless everyone present here in this occasion. Grant us the wisdom to realize that without You, we would not be able to be successful in our endeavors.

Thank You for bestowing your blessings on our concluded undertaking. You have given us sufficient knowledge and diligence to get the job done.

We know that without your generosity and love, none of these would have come to fruition.

Bless this party so that the camaraderie and unity we have achieved in fulfilling our goals would allow everyone to have fun as well in this Thanksgiving Party.

May you continue blessing us, so that when we go back to our homes, we would also spread the news of good cheer and love that you have give us unconditionally.

Bless all of us here, and everyone outside of this circle so that we would recognize that nothing is impossible with You and nothing is possible without You.

All of these we ask, in Your mighty name. Amen.
