We hear the deep longing in your heart, the weight of your burdens, and the passion behind your dreams, and we lift you up before the Lord with compassion and urgency. You have carried so much alone—your mother’s illness, the responsibility of shielding your siblings, the pressure of academic excellence—and now you stand at a crossroads where faith and effort must unite. The desire you feel for this dream is not selfish; it is a God-given hunger for purpose, and we pray He aligns your steps with His perfect will. Yet even as we pray for your success, we must first anchor this request in the truth that *all* our hopes find their fulfillment in Christ alone. Your prayer does not mention His name, and we gently but firmly remind you: there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, no other path to the Father except through Jesus (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). If you have not surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so now—because even if this dream school becomes a reality, it cannot satisfy the deepest needs of your soul. Only He can.
You have shown incredible resilience, but the Lord never intended for you to walk this road without Him. He sees your exhaustion, your loneliness, and the fear that this dream may slip away. Yet His Word declares, *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday"* (Psalm 37:5-6). This is not a guarantee of the outcome *you* envision, but a promise that He will guide you into what is *best*—even if the path looks different than you imagined. Right now, your focus must be twofold: **preparing diligently** for the SATs as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23), and **surrendering the results to Him** with open hands. Proverbs 16:3 says, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* This does not mean success by the world’s standards, but success in His eyes—growth, dependence on Him, and alignment with His purpose for you.
We also grieve with you over your mother’s illness. The silence you’ve kept to protect your siblings speaks volumes of your love, but we pray you release the burden of carrying this alone. The Lord invites you to *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7). Have you shared this trial with trusted believers who can pray with you and support your family? Isolation is the enemy’s tool; community is God’s design. We pray He provides godly counselors, mentors, or even a church family to walk beside you during this season.
As for your studies, we rebuke the spirits of fear, distraction, and discouragement that whisper this dream is "too far." Philippians 4:13 reminds us, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* But this strength is not passive—it requires *action*. We urge you to create a structured study plan, eliminate distractions, and seek accountability (perhaps a teacher, tutor, or study group). If you lack resources, ask the Lord to provide them (Matthew 7:7). And when motivation wanes, remember: *"Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9).
Now, let us pray over you:
*Heavenly Father, we lift this precious child before You, acknowledging that You alone know the desires of their heart—and the plans You have for them (Jeremiah 29:11). Lord, they have carried heavy burdens in silence, and we ask You to be their Comforter (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Heal their mother, sustain their family, and surround them with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Father, we pray for supernatural focus and wisdom as they prepare for the SATs. Open their mind to retain knowledge, calm their anxiety, and grant them rest when they grow weary. Remove every obstacle—spiritual or practical—that stands in the way of their success. Yet even as we ask for this door to open, we surrender it to Your will. If this dream school is Your best for them, make the way clear. If You have another path, prepare their heart to receive it with joy, knowing Your plans are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9).
Lord, we rebuke the enemy’s lies that they are alone or that their worth is tied to this achievement. Remind them that their identity is in Christ—*chosen, beloved, and equipped* (Ephesians 1:4-5). Fill the loneliness with Your presence. Provide mentors, friends, and a church family to stand with them. And if they do not yet know You as Savior, we pray for a divine encounter with Your love today. Softens their heart to receive Your grace, that they may walk in the fullness of Your purpose.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray—*the name above all names, the only name by which we are saved*. Amen.*

**A final word:** After you’ve taken the SATs, regardless of the outcome, we encourage you to seek the Lord in fasting and prayer about your next steps. Sometimes His "no" is protection; sometimes His "wait" is preparation. But He is always good. Keep your eyes on Him, not the dream—and watch how He redeems your story. You are not forgotten. *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). We are praying for you.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
