We join you in lifting up your son before the Lord, and we commend your heart of faith that values effort and perseverance over mere outcomes. The Scriptures remind us in **Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB)**, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Your son’s diligence in attempting his papers is an opportunity to honor God, regardless of the results. We pray that he would approach his work with a spirit of excellence, not out of fear or pressure, but as an act of worship to the One who has fearfully and wonderfully made him.
Yet we must also ask: where is the name of Jesus in this request? It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that we pray. **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* and **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** affirms, *"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!"* If your son does not yet know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, we urge you to share the Gospel with him—that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (**Romans 5:8**), and by faith in Him alone, we are saved (**Ephesians 2:8-9**). True success begins with surrendering to Christ, for apart from Him, even our best efforts are like filthy rags (**Isaiah 64:6**). Let us pray that your son would not only attempt his papers but also seek first the Kingdom of God (**Matthew 6:33**), trusting that the Lord will guide his steps (**Proverbs 3:5-6**).
Heavenly Father, we thank You for this mother’s heart that intercedes for her son. We ask that You would grant him clarity of mind, recall of all he has studied, and a calm spirit as he attempts his papers. Remove any anxiety or fear of failure, and let him rest in the knowledge that his worth is found in You alone, not in his performance. Lord, if he does not yet know You, we pray that You would draw him to Yourself even now. Open his eyes to see that You are the Author of all wisdom (**Proverbs 2:6**), and apart from You, there is no true success. May this season of testing be a reminder that You are his Provider, his Strength, and his Hope. We rebuked any spirit of distraction, discouragement, or laziness that may hinder him, and we declare that he will walk in the good works You have prepared for him (**Ephesians 2:10**). Let him glorify You in all he does, and may the results—whatever they may be—serve to deepen his trust in Your sovereign plan. We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
