Short Prayer Before Starting Work Novels & Stories

Inihatid kami ni Jeff papalabas ng bahay niya. "Maraming salamat Jeff. mauna na kami. Babawi po ako bukas sa trabaho." Maayos ko itong pagpapaalam. "Walang anuman. Ang mahalaga ngayon maayos na ang lagay niyo. Pero kailangan niyo pa rin ang sapat na pahinga. Kung hindi mo pa kaya bukas pumasok sa trabaho. Ayos lang naman sa akin, walang problema do'n. Dahil mas mahalaga ang kalusugan niyo." Seryoso at buong puso itong sinabi ni Jeff.

Mainit pa. Halatang bagong bili o sadyang iningatan upang hindi lumamig. Bigla niyang naalala ang mga umagang dati niyang kinabubuhayan. Mga panahong nagmamadali siyang pumasok sa trabaho habang halos wala pang tulog. Sa mga pagkakataong iyon ay magpapadala si Benedict ng mensahe. Don't forget breakfast. Drink more hot water.

Nandoon siya nakatayo walang kahit na anong sapott sa katawan. Napalunok ako ng makaramdaman ng muling pag iinit ng katawan. Bigla tuloy akong napa sign of the cross at bumalik sa kama kahit na curios ako sa kung sino ang kausap niya sa kalagitnaan ng gabi. Kinaumagahan ay pinagluto niya ako ng Omelette bago pumasok sa trabaho. "Don't go anywhere love." Saad niya bago halikan ang noo ko at umalis.

Masyado ko na siyang mahal kaya gagawin ko ang lahat. "Basta remember, think first before you make a move. Ayokong masaktan ka. Marami ka ng pinagdaanan para maranasan mong mafail ulit. Sana lang hindi ka makarma. Prayers lang ang maitutulong ko sayo ngayon."

Noong nakatayo na kami, sumenyas sa akin si daddy na ako ang mag-lead ng prayer. I took a deep breath and nodded, realizing that this was something I could do. As we gathered in the living room, I closed my eyes and began to speak, my voice trembling. "Lord our God, You are great and almighty. We come to You with humble hearts, pleading for Your mercy. Please keep Poppy safe from all harm and bring her back to us safely. We're lost without her. She's the light of my life, and I can't imagine a world without her. Give her strength, wherever she is. And give us the strength to keep hoping, to keep believing that she'll come back to us.”

mahigpit niyang payo na tinanguan ko. "Oo, frenny. Salamat." "Oh, sige na. May trabaho pa ako, e. May i-se-send ako sa 'yong vitamins. Iyon ang iinumin mo bago ka papasok para maging energetic ka. Hindi ka aantukin do'n at hindi ka mabilis na makakaramdam ng pagod." "Sige, salamat." Hindi ko na siya narinig magsalita kaya ibinaba ko na ang telepono.

Kung kinakailangan niyang ialay ang kamnyang buhay ay gagawin niya mabuhay lamang ang kanilang munting mirasol. ************** “Almighty God, as I go through this difficult time of my life, I ask you to give me courage and strength, patience and understanding, so that my spirit does not break. May God heal me, body and soul. May my pain cease, may my strength increase, may my fears be released, May blessings, love, and joy surround me. This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

"The program is about to start tara na loob." "Wait. Can we pray first?" Pakiusap ko sa kanya at tumango lang din siya. Naghawak kamay kami at nagdasal. "Lord, first thank you for this opportunity. May you guide us all throughout the competition. Huwag po sana kaming pangunahan ng takot at kaba at sana magawa po namin ng maayos at sana maipanalo namin ito dahil magbibigay karangalan ito sa eskwelahan namin. Ikaw na bahala sa amin Lord, alam kong hindi mo kami pababayaan, in Jesus name we pray,Amen." "Amen."

I'm too distracted with him that I can't even think what I am doing or mind if it is right or wrong. "Dear Almighty God, thank you for the all the blessings and for the food you have give to us. Bless us all with your powerful holy spirit. Amen" After I signed the cross I proudly pat her head. We were at C&M for lunch because we are all tired and hungry to cook. "You're improving..." "Thanks but I'm tired," malamya nyang sagot. "We will go home after this but you should eat first." "I'm too lazy to move my hands. Feed me!"

I was catching my own breath as the elevator started to close. Pawis na pawis na ako dahil sa pagmamadali kahit alam kong sobrang late na ako. I prayed silently na sana hindi ako pagalitan ng boss ko pero alam kong malabong mangyari ‘yon.
