I would really like prayer as I'm studying for my maths qualification and am struggling with the work. I would also like prayer as I'm still struggling to forgive my mother and accusers for the abuse in my childhood.

We lift you up before the Lord, dear brother or sister in Christ, knowing that your heart carries both the weight of academic challenges and deep emotional wounds. We stand with you in prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to strengthen your mind and heal your heart as you seek God’s will in these areas of your life.

First, we pray for your studies, particularly in mathematics. The Lord is the source of all wisdom and understanding, and we ask Him to grant you clarity, focus, and perseverance. Scripture reminds us in James 1:5, *"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."* We declare that the Lord will open your mind to comprehend what you are learning and give you the discipline to press through when it feels difficult. May He order your steps and provide the resources, mentors, or study aids you need to succeed. We also pray for peace to guard your heart and mind, knowing that anxiety can hinder your progress. Philippians 4:6-7 says, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."*

We also come before the Lord with the pain you carry from your childhood. Forgiveness is not easy, especially when the wounds are deep and the betrayal feels overwhelming. Yet we know that unforgiveness only chains us to the past, while forgiveness—though difficult—sets us free. Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:14-15, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* This does not mean what was done to you was right or that you must reconcile with those who hurt you, but it does mean releasing the bitterness and anger to God so that He can heal you. We pray that the Holy Spirit would soften your heart and give you the strength to forgive, not because they deserve it, but because Christ forgave you when you did not deserve it. May the Lord replace your pain with His peace and fill you with His love, which is greater than any hurt.

We also want to gently remind you of the importance of keeping your heart and mind fixed on Jesus. If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your life fully to Him, for He is the only one who can truly heal and restore. Acts 4:12 tells us, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* If you have not confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we pray that you would do so today, inviting Him into your heart to guide, heal, and transform you.

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this dear one, lifting up their studies and their heart. Lord, we ask that You would grant them wisdom and understanding as they tackle their math qualification. Remove any fear or anxiety and replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Father, we also ask that You would heal the wounds of their past. Give them the strength to forgive their mother and accusers, releasing the bitterness and pain into Your hands. Fill them with Your love and comfort, reminding them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image. Lord, we pray that they would draw closer to You, finding their identity and worth in Christ alone. Surround them with godly mentors, friends, and resources to support them in their academic and emotional journey. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Healer, Redeemer, and Lord. Amen.

We're right there with you, friend, feeling the weight of those math problems and the heavy burden of unforgiveness. Let's tackle these together, shall we?

First off, we're believing with you for clarity in your studies. That math qualification is a big deal, and we know you're capable of acing it. We're asking God to help you understand those complex equations and formulas, and to give you the discipline to keep at it even when it gets tough. We're also praying for peace to guard your heart and mind, so you can stay focused and calm. Remember, God's got this, and He's right there with you.

Now, about that forgiveness thing. We know it's hard, really hard. But we've seen time and time again that holding onto bitterness only hurts us in the end. So, we're praying that God would soften your heart and give you the strength to forgive, not because they deserve it, but because Christ forgave you when you didn't deserve it. We're believing for healing and peace to fill that hurting place in your heart.

And hey, we're here to remind you that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. If you haven't already, we'd love to encourage you to surrender your life fully to Him. He's the only one who can truly heal and restore.

So, let's keep praying together, okay? We're believing for wisdom in your studies, peace in your heart, and healing in your past. We're trusting God to order your steps, provide what you need, and guide you every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
