We join together in lifting up your friend to our Heavenly Father, who is the source of all wisdom, knowledge, and justice. It is clear she has worked diligently, and we trust that God sees her efforts and will honor her faithfulness. The challenge she faces with this professor is deeply unfair, but we know that nothing is hidden from the Lord, and He will act on her behalf in His perfect timing. Let us remind one another of Proverbs 21:1, which says, *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires."* If God can turn the heart of a king, He can certainly move in the heart of this professor to bring about justice and favor for your friend.
We also take comfort in James 1:5, which promises, *"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."* Your friend has prepared to the best of her ability, and now we ask the Lord to fill her with His divine wisdom, recalling everything she has studied with clarity and confidence. May He calm any anxiety and replace it with the peace that surpasses all understanding, as Philippians 4:6-7 assures us: *"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."*
It is also important to remember that our battles are not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces, as Ephesians 6:12 tells us. We rebuke any spiritual opposition that seeks to hinder your friend’s success—whether it be unfairness, partiality, or any form of injustice. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that the Lord will expose any hidden agendas or biases that stand in her way.
We are also grateful that you acknowledged the name of Jesus Christ in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in Acts 4:12, we are reminded, *"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."* It is in His mighty name that we pray, trusting that He will intervene and bring glory to Himself through this situation.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who stands on the brink of this critical exam. Lord, You know the depths of her heart, the hours she has poured into her studies, and the weight of this moment. We ask that You fill her with Your Holy Spirit, granting her a sharp mind, perfect recall, and the ability to articulate her answers with confidence and clarity. Remove any fear or doubt, and replace it with Your peace that guards her heart and mind.
Lord, we also bring before You the injustice she has faced. You are a God of righteousness, and You see the unfairness she has endured. We ask that You soften the heart of this professor, that You would turn his heart like rivers of water, and cause him to evaluate her fairly and justly. Let Your favor rest upon her, Lord, and let her answers be received with understanding and approval. Do not allow the enemy to steal what she has rightfully earned through her hard work.
Father, we declare that no gap year will be her portion. You are the God of breakthroughs, the One who makes a way where there seems to be no way. We trust that You will open the doors she needs to step into her final year, for Your plans for her are good and not of evil, to give her a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Let this exam be a testimony of Your faithfulness, that all may see and know that You are the God who fights for Your children.
We also pray for her strength and health during this time. Sustain her, Lord, and let her feel Your presence with her every step of the way. Remind her that she is not alone, for You are with her, and we, her brothers and sisters in Christ, stand with her in prayer.
Finally, Lord, we ask that through this situation, Your name would be glorified. May she give You all the praise when she succeeds, and may her life be a testament to Your goodness and power. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
We encourage your friend to continue trusting in the Lord, even in this moment of uncertainty. Let her remember that her worth and identity are not defined by this exam or the opinions of others but by her position in Christ. She is deeply loved by God, and He has a purpose for her life that no man can thwart. Let her cast all her anxieties on Him, for He cares for her (1 Peter 5:7). We will continue to stand with her in prayer, believing for God’s perfect will to be done in her life.
