Dear God,
As you may know I am joining the 5th Annual Artwork T-Shirt Competition. I ask for your guidance
and blessing to do my best to win the contest. I want to win the contest not only to get the prize (Mac Book
and a special award of one of the most---) from the competition but to also prove to my classmates that I can
do art and other more skills as well. I want to show to everybody that I am skillful and talented. Not that I
only know one thing but so that people can see me as a better person and not plastic or fake friend or
person. I know who I am and you know much more about me than I know more about myself. God this is
the first time I have joined a public competition in the Philippines. Please God guide me with your Holy
Spirit and be reflected to try and aim my best for every goal I want. I dont want to be greedy and selfish
Lord, but from my honesty and deeply in my heart, I want to win so much the contest. I dont know much if
this request is selfish but I ask that this may be answered and achieved. I do not want to hide especially from
you, Lord but I want to win, this badly. Please, please answer me, Lord please. Just by no reply and
achievement in this contest and cause me heartache and tears. Give me signs and symbols to help me be
inspired to win this annual t-shirt competition. I am scared Lord. No! I am frightened to lose. Give me the
eyes I seek, give me the wisdom and knowledge I ask, please Lord give me the skill to attain the given
activities to achieve what I plead. I love you and will always love you; Lord till the day I die and from the
bottom of my heart. Give me the chance, Lord to open up and be confident. Please God guide me in my
exam (2nd Periodical Exam) in each subjects. Let me have good scores and good grades in each subject
(especially in Math, Filipino and Science) this 2nd Grading. Please help me God as I study and while I am
busy in school and at home. God help me to commit myself to let me grow into a beautiful woman and to
also grow my height and to lose all these unwanted fats in my body ( I really want to be thin and I want to

really become a healthy and good looking adult woman). I want to always have my true love man beside me
till I grow old and forever. I want that prince charming to be my true love and that we will always love and
have good and lovely children of ours around us. I want to be successful and have a great and wonderful job
when I grow up. I want to explore the world. I want to see still my parents, brother and sister, relatives and
many more till I grow old. I want to enjoy my life. I want to give thanks and gratitude for everything you
have done and given me and also I would like to thank everyone whom you have given me to be my
instruments and key to success. God please guide my family and everyone I know. Guide me to have a better
life. Guide me in my goals. Thank you God for making me part of the role in the second year- B play prod
(hope we will be successful in the play prod and a lot of people will like it). Please guide me especially in the
subject of math!!!! :) I know these are much more like a command than a request Lord but I really cant lie
in my heart of what I want and plead. I will try and do actions to forgive my enemies. I will humbly do the
best I can in school and at home. I will try to do my best to be enlightened and guided by your powers while
you are doing your best to give the strength to me to conquer a war between livelihoods. I will protect at all
cost everyone I know especially my family. Please guide me in my love life that will still be coming soon.
Guide me God in everything and not only these requests and command. Never will I forget to thank you
Lord; God of everything and everyone. I may not know much of the right religion or vows in the olden times
but Lord I will always be part of the children in heaven who will love you forever and will always be loyal to
you Lord of everything nothing else. I love you, God. I thank you, God. I worship and praise for everything
you have done, God. Guide me and protect from the evil spirits around me and take them away from each
and every person including those people who have sinned and me. God, I never will forget all the acts you
have given me and opened up to me to offer. I love you, God and I will always be happy, will smile and
always will be prayerful to you, God I only will worship and praise and that is you, Lord of everything and I
believe source of all life from the soul where it all began.

scare me and I cannot stop being scared. Please help me, guide me and protect me by my guardian angels

Lord but if you can still answer my requests inside my heart that I havent said, please Lord Answer and
help me attain them. I will do my best in everything that I do. From the time, I was born I have offered up
my body to serve and love you, God.
Thank you, Lord!

Dear God,
It has been three years that I havent written in this prayer book journal. Well, if my younger me
would ask me, I didnt win the artwork challenge. My work was dirty. Beginner for short. Every night I
attentively pray to you, no matter how sleepy I am through my twelve hours of procrastination. The work is
draining. Doing nothing is tiring, for short. But when I want to do something, it makes me feel responsible
especially if it involves college activities. Butterflies rolling out of my stomach is surprisingly a true
metaphor.
As a first year Nursing, Id like to thank you for guiding and giving me the chance to continue my
studies without any line of failures. Second semester is coming by tomorrow. And so far, I want to make the
best and studios time that I can to become a doctor. I know choosing Nursing is the right choice. Once again,
thank you for allowing me to be closer to my dreams, giving me opportunities and time to honor more of
your works.
Thank you, Lord!
