Consciousness Examen - Time

"There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill and a time heal. A time to tear down and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them; a time to embrace and a time to cast away. A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love and time to hate; a time of war and a time peace."

Father, thank you for open-handedly giving us the perfect time for everything. From the exact time we were born and saw this cruel world up to the time when we learned to speak and walk. From the time we first entered the school of school up to the time we first received academic award. From the time when we first met our friends in the school of street up to the time we have had our so called best friends. From the time we had our first crush up to the time we had our puppy love. From the time we had our first love up to the time we first entered into courtship. From the time we committed into a relationship up to the time we had our first heart break. From the time we learned how to laugh up to the time when we learned how to cry and experience sorrow. From the time when we learned how to chain a relationship up to the time when we have learned when to let go…to untie the knot. From the time when we first said thank you for the toys up to the moment when we will say thank you for giving this life.

Father, we are begging for forgiveness for most of the times we cannot hit the right time to act. You have given us all the time we needed but here we are, approaching to you regretfully. Sorry if during conex, we actually do not pray, rather we think of our projects, assignments and other concerns, well in fact, it is the time when we should we make it up to you. Sorry if we break the rules especially in the dormitory. Sorry if there are people who we take for granted. Sorry if sometimes hatred dominates a day in our lives. Sorry if we cannot appreciate the works of others. Sorry if there have been times that we have chosen to be silent rather than talk of a certain issue. For all the sins we have committed, we beg for forgiveness.

Father, please purify our hearts, mind and soul as we sleep tonight. Please inculcate in our hearts the lessons we’ve learned in the school of street. Please always lead us to excellence as we walk throughout the school of school but keeping in mind that winning is not getting ahead of others but getting ahead of oneself. Never give up on us when we reach the school of corporates. And please guide us and our families and loved ones in hitting the right time in the school of life.
