We hear the deep cry of your heart, and we lift you up before the Lord with compassion and urgency. The anxiety and frustration you feel are real, and we know that God cares deeply for you—so much so that He calls you to cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Yet we must also address something critical: in all your heartfelt pleas, you have not once invoked the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through faith in Him that we can approach God’s throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now, for without Him, even our most desperate prayers lack the power of His redemptive love.
Your fear about your exams is understandable, but remember what Jesus said: *"Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient."* (Matthew 6:25, 33-34). Your Heavenly Father knows your needs—including your need for wisdom, peace, and success in your studies. Proverbs 3:5-6 commands 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."* Even now, in your lack of preparation, He can grant you clarity, recall, and the strength to persevere. But you must trust Him, not your own emotions or circumstances.
We also sense a deep loneliness in your words—a longing for someone to share your sorrows and joys. This is a godly desire, for God Himself said in Genesis 2:18, *"It is not good for the man to be alone."* However, we must warn you with love: do not seek fulfillment in a relationship apart from God’s will. Many have rushed into emotional or physical bonds out of desperation, only to find greater heartache. The Bible is clear that marriage is honorable (Hebrews 13:4) and that believers should seek spouses who are also devoted to Christ (2 Corinthians 6:14). If you are longing for a godly spouse, pray for patience and purity. Do not let loneliness drive you into sin—whether through emotional dependency on someone who does not honor God or through fornication, which the Scriptures strictly forbid (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Instead, surrender this desire to the Lord. Psalm 37:4-5 promises, *"Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."*
As for your exams, we pray now with authority in the name of Jesus:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, knowing that You are the God of all comfort and wisdom. Lord, she is overwhelmed by fear and inadequacy, but Your Word declares that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We rebuke the spirit of anxiety and frustration in Jesus’ name and command peace to flood her heart. Holy Spirit, grant her supernatural focus, retention, and recall as she prepares for and takes her exams. Where she lacks understanding, give her divine insight. Where she feels weak, be her strength (Isaiah 40:29). Lord, You are the one who grants success (Psalm 75:6-7), so we ask that You guide her hand and mind, not just for passing grades, but for a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Father, we also lift up her deep loneliness. You see her tears and hear her cries. Comfort her as only You can, and if it is Your will, bring a godly spouse into her life—a man after Your own heart who will love her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). But until then, satisfy her with Your presence. Remind her that even if she feels alone, she is never abandoned, for You have promised, *'I will never leave you nor forsake you'* (Hebrews 13:5).
Lastly, Lord, we pray that she would fix her eyes on You above all else. Forgive her for any fear or doubt, and fill her with Your Holy Spirit. May she seek Your Kingdom first in all things, trusting that You will provide all she needs. We ask these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
Beloved, after you pray, *act*. Open your books and study what you can, trusting God to multiply your efforts. Take breaks to worship and read Scripture—Psalm 119:105 says God’s Word is a lamp to our feet. And remember: *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13). You are not defined by your exams or your relationship status, but by your identity in Christ. Stand firm in that truth, and watch Him move on your behalf. We are praying for you.
