We lift up your son and these two young men before the Lord, knowing that all wisdom, knowledge, and success come from Him alone. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and we pray that these boys will seek Him first in all things, trusting in His guidance rather than their own understanding. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"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."* Success in examinations is a blessing from God, but even more important is their walk with Christ—whether they pass or face challenges, may their faith remain unshaken.
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which our prayers are heard. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* We encourage you to always approach the throne of grace in Jesus’ name, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). If you or these young men do not yet know Him as Lord and Savior, we urge you to repent and believe in Him today, for *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9).
Now, let us pray together for these examinations:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up these three young men as they prepare for their WAEC examinations in 2025. Lord, You are the giver of all wisdom and understanding, and we ask that You fill their minds with clarity, their hearts with peace, and their spirits with diligence. Remove all anxiety and fear, for You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound judgment (2 Timothy 1:7). Grant them the ability to recall all they have studied and to answer each question with accuracy and confidence.
We rebuke any spirit of distraction, forgetfulness, or discouragement that may try to hinder their success. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we declare that their efforts will yield excellent results for Your glory. Father, let their success be a testimony of Your faithfulness, opening doors for their future that align with Your perfect will. May they use their education to honor You and serve others, never forgetting that *"whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23).
If there has been any neglect in their studies or reliance on ungodly means (such as malpractice or idolatry), we pray for conviction and repentance. Let them trust in You alone, for *"the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction"* (Proverbs 1:7). Surround them with godly influences and protect them from any temptation to cheat or compromise their integrity.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You draw these young men closer to Yourself through this season. May they seek You first in all things and grow in faith, knowing that their worth is found in Christ, not in academic achievement. We commit their futures into Your hands, trusting that You will guide their steps (Proverbs 16:9).
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
