We lift our hearts together in prayer for your granddaughter as she prepares for her driving test on January 28th. Father God, we come before You, knowing that You are the source of all peace and strength. Your Word tells us in Philippians 4:6-7, "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." Lord, we ask that You calm her anxious heart and replace her overthinking with Your perfect peace.
We also pray that You would remind her of the truth in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." Let her feel Your presence with her, guiding her hands and her mind as she takes this test. Help her to remember all that she has learned and to trust in her abilities, knowing that You are with her every step of the way.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of anxiety and fear that seeks to overwhelm her. We declare that she is more than a conqueror through Christ who strengthens her (Romans 8:37). We pray that she would cast all her cares upon You, for You care for her (1 Peter 5:7). Fill her with confidence and clarity, and let her feel Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We also encourage her to spend time in prayer and meditation on Your Word in the days leading up to her test. Remind her to take deep breaths and to trust in You, for You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Let her find comfort in knowing that You are in control, and that all things work together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
Heavenly Father, we ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We trust in Your goodness and Your faithfulness, knowing that You hear our prayers and will answer according to Your perfect will. Amen.
