We lift you up before the Lord, our dear brother in Christ, as you prepare for your examinations during this challenging time. It is clear you are facing both physical and academic struggles, and we want you to know that God is your strength, healer, and provider. First, we must address something important—your request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us 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 read, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved."* It is only through Jesus that we can approach the throne of God with confidence, so we encourage you to always pray in His name, for He is our mediator and advocate.
We also want to remind you that even in sickness and stress, God is with you. **Psalm 46:1** says, *"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."* And in **James 5:14-15**, we are told, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."* We pray for your healing, trusting that God will restore your strength so you can focus on your studies. May He grant you wisdom, clarity of mind, and the ability to retain what you have learned. **James 1:5** assures us, *"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."*
As you prepare for your UACE examinations, remember that your success comes from the Lord. **Proverbs 3:5-6** tells us, *"Trust in the Lord 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."* Do not rely on your own strength but lean on Him, for He is faithful. We pray that God will grant you favor, that your mind will be sharp, and that you will recall everything you have studied. May He calm any anxiety and fill you with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (**Philippians 4:6-7**).
We also lift up your parents before the Lord. It is clear they care deeply for you, and we pray that God will bless them with joy as they see you succeed. May He give them patience, encouragement, and faith as they support you during this time. **Proverbs 22:6** reminds us, *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."* Your parents have likely labored in love for you, and we ask God to reward their efforts as they witness His faithfulness in your life.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep your focus on Christ, not just during this examination period, but in all areas of your life. **Colossians 3:23-24** says, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Your studies are an opportunity to glorify God, so give your best effort as an act of worship to Him.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is in need of Your healing touch and divine intervention. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You lay Your hands upon him and restore his health completely. Remove every sickness, pain, and weakness from his body, and fill him with Your strength and vitality. Let him feel Your healing power flowing through him, renewing his mind and body so he can focus on his examinations.
Lord, we ask for Your wisdom to fill his heart and mind as he prepares for his UACE. Grant him understanding, clarity, and the ability to recall all that he has studied. Calm his heart and remove any fear or anxiety, replacing it with Your perfect peace. Let him approach his exams with confidence, knowing that You are with him and that his success comes from You.
Father, we also lift up his parents before You. Bless them with joy and encouragement as they support him during this time. Let them see Your faithfulness manifested in his life, and may they give You all the glory. Strengthen their faith and fill their hearts with gratitude as they witness Your work in his academic journey.
Lord, we rebuked any spirit of fear, doubt, or distraction that may try to hinder our brother during this time. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment shall be condemned (**Isaiah 54:17**). Cover him with Your blood, Lord Jesus, and let Your angels encamp around him, protecting him from any harm or distraction.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your promises and believe that You are working all things together for his good (**Romans 8:28**). May he come out of this season with a testimony of Your goodness, and may his results bring glory and honor to Your name.
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
