With lots of cramming taking place right now, how about the following little prayer for anxious parents :
"Dear Lord, Help us stay calm when he has lost his maths jotter, especially when it is the night before the maths exam !
Give us the strength we need to avoid a cardiac arrest when we find her listening to her iPod in bed late the night before her English paper !
Show us how to sound sincere when telling them : 'Just do your best, and if you blow this fantastic opportunity, don't worry, we won't mind ' !
Finally, Lord, lead us not into temptation - and bribery - eg ' Pass all your exams and we'll buy you a motor bike / sound system / iPhone.'
Amen."
