This article is inspired by a Facebook status of a friend expressing her enjoyment to a teacher’s prayer preceding a morning class.
“terenyuh mendengar doanya bu Raema sebelum kuliah dimulai yang intinya we are nothing without YOU, My Almighty Lord, Jesus Christ...I love You ♥”
The temptation to get control over things are always there, in the class; to control situations, teachers, students, classmates, study group friends, and so forth. And the truth of the matter, none can hold a full control over others' minds. Each of them has an independent mind. Failing to get it, we get desperate and frustrated. Therefore, the prayer is there as a confirmation of that limitation. It helps us figure out energy to do something good within the limitation.
This ceremonial seeming activity would also help us accept wrong doings; for not doing the best we can; for not reading the textbooks the night before, not paying tribute to the explanation, and including not really getting interested in what is learned.
The prayer can bring us peace, if we allow it to.
