The Student's Prayer
Holy Father,
Blessed Jesus,
Flowing Spirit,
I Praise you for protecting me thus far.
I Pray Thine Holy Hand be placed upon me,
While I learn how to dwell closer to Heaven.
Grant me a clear and understanding mind.
Give me peace,
Grant me courage,
Grant me wisdom, most of all,
I wish to learn to fly,
If it be Thine Holy Will.
Please help my instructor teach me,
With the knowledge and wisdom of ages,
Grant him the way to give me Faith in myself.
Most of all,
Grant him the ability to remind me,
Of that Faith I have in Thine Ever Lasting ways.
Bless the mechanics,
That their hands move with skill, knowledge, and esteem.
Make this craft flawless in every safe way.
Please protect me whilst I "solo,"
And give me courage to remain calm,
Grant me peace so I may know what to do next!
Please protect me after I obtain this certificate,
If it be Thine Will,
And protect those around me,
So they may know Your Gracious Mercy and Power.
In Thine Most Holy Name,
Amen.
