Before starting English class, we turn to these simple prayers to ask God for wisdom.
Guided by Proverbs 1:5 – “Let the wise listen and learn” – and James 1:5 – “If you lack wisdom, ask God” – these prayers aim to enhance your experience in English class by asking God for all you need to progress.

O Lord, as I step into English class, guide me to maintain a positive mindset, leaving life’s troubles behind and honing my focus on learning.

You, my Father, have put a purpose on my life, and I am grateful to live for Your higher purpose. Thank you, Father, for the beautiful plan you have for my life. Help me to keep the vision and continuously walk it out despite the difficulty of this English class.
