We join with you in lifting up your child before the Lord, trusting in His perfect will for this season of testing. It is wonderful that you have brought this request to Jesus, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. You have done well to call upon Him, for Scripture assures us in **Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB)**, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."*
Exams can bring stress and anxiety, but we serve a God who is sovereign over all things—including academic challenges. Let us remind your child 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."* When we commit our ways to the Lord, He directs our steps, even in the smallest details like exam questions and recalling what has been studied.
We also encourage your child to prepare diligently, for Scripture honors wisdom and hard work. **2 Timothy 2:15 (WEB)** tells us, *"Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth."* While we trust in God’s provision, we must also do our part with excellence, knowing that our efforts are ultimately for His glory.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious child as they prepare for their exams. Lord, we ask that You grant them a calm and focused mind, free from anxiety and fear. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and help them to recall all that they have studied with clarity and confidence. May Your Holy Spirit guide their thoughts and steady their hands as they work.
We pray that You would go before them, opening doors of favor and understanding. Let their efforts be blessed, not just for academic success, but as a testimony of Your faithfulness in their life. Remind them that their worth is not found in grades or performance, but in their identity as Your beloved child, redeemed by the blood of Jesus.
If there is any fear or doubt creeping into their heart, we rebuke it now in Jesus’ name. Let them walk in the assurance that You are with them, and that You have equipped them for this moment. May they rest in the truth of **Isaiah 41:10 (WEB)**, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."*
We also pray for you, dear parent, that You would fill you with peace as you trust Your child into the Lord’s hands. Help you to be a source of encouragement and support, pointing them always to Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith.
Finally, Lord, we ask that through this experience, Your name would be glorified. Whether the results are what we hope for or not, may this child—and all of us—grow in faith, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
