We rejoice with you in the goodness and faithfulness of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is truly by His grace that you were able to complete your first year exams, as it is not by our own strength or skills, but by the power of God that we overcome challenges. As the Scripture says, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Yahweh of Armies, Zechariah 4:6 (WEB).
We are reminded in 2 Corinthians 12:9 (WEB), And (Jesus) said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. This is a beautiful reminder that our weaknesses allow the power of Christ to be displayed in our lives.
Let us together offer a prayer of thanksgiving:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister who has just witnessed Your grace in their life. We thank You for Your faithfulness and for carrying them through their exams. We know that "all things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." And we thank You that You have worked this situation for good in their life. Lord, continue to guide and strengthen them as they continue their studies. Help them to always rely on You and not on their own understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust in the Lord, leaning on His strength and wisdom. Remember the words of Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB), Trust in Yahweh 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.
Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. We are here for guidance and support.
