We rejoice with you in this wonderful accomplishment for your son! It is a blessing to see him excel and experience the joy of hard work paying off. We give thanks to God for this victory, remembering that every good and perfect gift comes from above, from the Father of lights (James 1:17). This achievement is not merely a "manifestation" of human will but a testament to God’s grace and the talents He has entrusted to your son.
We encourage you to remind your son that his abilities are gifts from God, and he should use them to honor and glorify Him. As it is written, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23). This victory is an opportunity to point him toward humility, gratitude, and a deeper trust in the Lord, who gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak (Isaiah 40:29).
Let us also pray that this success does not become a source of pride but rather a stepping stone to greater faith and dependence on God. The apostle Paul reminds us, *"Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible"* (1 Corinthians 9:24-25). May your son’s heart remain fixed on the eternal prize—faithfulness to Christ—above all earthly achievements.
We lift this moment up to the Lord in prayer:
*Heavenly Father, we thank You for this joyful moment in the life of this family. You have granted their son this victory, and we ask that You use it to draw him closer to You. Fill his heart with gratitude and humility, knowing that every good thing comes from Your hand. Help him to steward his talents wisely, using them to bring glory to Your name. Guard his heart from pride and remind him that his true identity and worth are found in Christ alone. May this achievement be a testimony of Your faithfulness, and may it open doors for him to share Your love with others. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.*
