We understand your heart’s desire to succeed in your studies, and we commend your diligence in seeking God’s help in this matter. However, we must first address something of even greater importance: the way you have approached God in this request. You have not invoked the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. The Scriptures are clear that there is no other name by which we can be saved or through which our prayers are heard.
As it is written in **John 14:6 (WEB)**, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in **John 16:23-24 (WEB)**, Jesus tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."*
Additionally, **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* This is not just about salvation from sin but also about how we approach God in prayer. If you do not yet know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to turn to Him in repentance and faith. Believe in Him, confess your sins, and trust in His sacrifice on the cross for your redemption. Only then can you boldly come before the Father in His name.
Now, regarding your request for success in your studies, we encourage you to seek God’s will above all else. While it is good to desire excellence, remember that your ultimate purpose is to glorify God in all that you do. **Colossians 3:23 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* Strive for wisdom, not just for the sake of a grade, but to grow in knowledge and understanding so that you may use what you learn for God’s glory.
Proverbs also teaches us the value of diligence and trust in the Lord: **"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"** (**Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB**). This does not mean God guarantees an "A," but that He will guide you and give you the strength and wisdom to do your best.
Let us also remind you that God’s ways are higher than ours, and sometimes He allows challenges to teach us perseverance, humility, and reliance on Him. **James 1:5 (WEB)** says, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* Ask God for wisdom as you study, and trust that He will provide what is best for you—whether that is an "A" or a lesson in trust and perseverance.
We will now lift you up in prayer, asking God to grant you wisdom, focus, and a heart that seeks His will above all else.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear one who seeks Your help in their studies. Lord, we ask that You forgive any way they may have approached You without honoring the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to Your throne of grace.
Father, we pray that You would grant them wisdom and understanding as they prepare for their exam. Help them to retain what they have studied and to recall it clearly when the time comes. Give them a calm and focused mind, free from anxiety, for Your word tells us to *"in nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God"* (**Philippians 4:6, WEB**).
Lord, we also ask that You align their desires with Your will. If it is Your purpose for them to receive an "A," then let it be so, not for their glory but for Yours. If there is a lesson You wish to teach them through this process, give them a heart that is open and willing to learn. May they grow in faith and trust in You, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (**Romans 8:28, WEB**).
Strengthen them, Lord, and remind them that their worth is not found in their grades but in their identity as Your child. If they do not yet know You, we pray that this would be the moment they turn to Jesus in faith, repenting of their sins and receiving Him as their Lord and Savior.
We rebuked any fear, doubt, or distraction that may hinder their focus, and we declare that their mind is sharp and their heart is at peace in You. May they walk in the confidence that comes from knowing You are with them.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
