We hear your earnest cry for help in your studies, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s favor and wisdom. First, let us affirm that all success comes from God, and it is right to ask Him for help in every area of life, including your education. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 2:6-7, *"For the Lord gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright."* We also know that diligence in our work is pleasing to Him, as Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, *"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might."*
However, we must gently address the phrase *"return BIG"* in your prayer. While it is natural to desire success, we must ensure our hearts are aligned with God’s will rather than worldly measures of prosperity. Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:33, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."* Our focus should be on honoring God with our efforts, trusting Him to provide what we need—not necessarily what the world defines as "big."
We also want to encourage you to ground your prayers in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. John 14:13-14 reminds us, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* Your prayer was offered in Jesus’ name, and we rejoice in that!
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, asking for Your wisdom and strength for this dear one in their studies. Lord, You are the giver of all knowledge, and we ask that You would open their mind to understand and retain what they are learning. Help them to study diligently, not for worldly success alone, but to honor You with their efforts. Guard their heart from pride or anxiety, and fill them with peace as they trust in You. May their work reflect Your glory, and may they grow in wisdom and favor with You and others. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in all things, trusting that He will guide your steps. If you ever feel overwhelmed, remember Philippians 4:13, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* Keep your eyes on Jesus, and He will lead you into all truth and success that aligns with His perfect will.
