We join with you in lifting up this season of your nursing journey, and we are grateful to see your heart of surrender and trust in the Lord’s calling over your life. The fear you feel is understandable—this level has been marked by struggle for many, and the weight of exams like your upcoming med math test can feel overwhelming. But we must remind you, as the Scriptures declare, that *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). The Lord has already equipped you with the mind and ability to reach this point, and He will not abandon you now. Your fear is real, but His faithfulness is greater.
You have rightly acknowledged that this calling is from Him—to serve as a nurse, to be His hands and feet in a broken world, and to shine His light in dark places. That is no small purpose! Yet even in this noble pursuit, we must remember that our ultimate trust is not in our own strength or performance, but in Christ alone. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Your success is not dependent on your perfection, but on His provision. He has brought you this far, and He will see you through—whether by passing this exam with excellence or by teaching you resilience in the face of setbacks. Either way, His glory is the goal.
We also commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in His mighty name is a testament to your trust in His sovereignty over every detail of your life.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with thanksgiving for this sister in Christ, who seeks to honor You through her studies and future service as a nurse. Lord, You know the fears that grip her heart—the weight of expectation, the pressure of performance, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. But You, O God, are not the author of confusion or anxiety. You are the Prince of Peace, the God of all comfort, and the One who holds her future in Your hands.
We ask that You flood her mind with clarity as she prepares for her med math exam this Thursday. Grant her wisdom to understand each problem, discernment to avoid errors, and calmness to work carefully under pressure. Remind her that her worth is not in her grades, but in her identity as Your beloved child. If it is Your will, let her pass this exam and every challenge ahead, not for her own glory, but so she may continue to be trained for the work You have prepared for her.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear that seeks to paralyze her. Replace it with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen her faith to believe that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28), even when the path feels uncertain. Let her rest in the truth that You have already gone before her, and that no test or trial can separate her from Your love (Romans 8:38-39).
As she studies, let her mind be sharp and her heart steadfast. Surround her with support—whether through classmates, instructors, or Your divine intervention—to encourage her in this season. And when she feels weak, remind her that Your grace is sufficient, for Your power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Finally, Father, we pray that through her life and future career, she would indeed be a beacon of Your light. May she serve with compassion, speak with wisdom, and point others to You in every interaction. Let her nursing be an act of worship, and her testimony a living example of Your faithfulness.
We ask all this in the mighty and beautiful name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
Stand firm in this truth, sister: *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13, WEB). Whether you pass every exam with flying colors or face unexpected challenges, God is with you. Keep your eyes on Him, not on the storm around you. And remember, even if the road is harder than you imagined, He is refining you for a purpose greater than you can see. Trust Him, study diligently, and walk in the confidence that He who called you is faithful.
