We join you in lifting up your heart and concerns to the Lord, for He cares deeply for you and has called you to this noble path of nursing—a vocation where you can indeed reflect Christ’s love through compassion and service. Your prayer is filled with faith, and we see how you are trusting God even in the midst of doubt, which is a beautiful testament to your growing relationship with Him. We are encouraged by your desire to honor the Lord through your work, for Scripture reminds us in Colossians 3:23-24, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."*
Yet, as we pray with you, we must gently address something important. While your prayer is heartfelt, we notice that you did not initially invoke the name of Jesus in your request to us—only in your personal prayer. This is a vital reminder for all believers: there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in Acts 4:12, we are told, *"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 boldly approach the throne of grace in the name of Jesus, for He is our mediator and our hope.
Now, let us pray together for you, that the Lord would calm your anxieties, renew your mind, and fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding. We ask that He would grant you clarity, recall, and wisdom during your exam, reminding you that He has equipped you for this very purpose. The Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7). Trust in Him with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, who seeks Your strength and favor as she prepares for this exam. Lord, You know the fears and doubts that threaten to overwhelm her, but we declare that You are greater than any anxiety or challenge she faces. We ask that You would quiet her heart with Your peace, which transcends all understanding, and guard her mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Remind her that she is more than a conqueror through Him who loves her (Romans 8:37), and that You have already gone before her to prepare the way.
Father, we pray that You would sharpen her memory, grant her wisdom, and help her recall all that she has studied. Let her answers be clear and accurate, and may she feel Your presence with her every moment of the exam. Lord, we ask that You would remove any distractions or obstacles, and fill her with confidence—not in her own abilities, but in Your faithfulness. You have called her to this profession, and we trust that You will complete the good work You have begun in her (Philippians 1:6).
We also pray for her motivation and faith to be renewed. When weariness or discouragement creeps in, remind her of Your promises and the purpose You have placed in her heart. Let her remember that her labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58), and that You are preparing her for a future where she can serve others as an extension of Your hands and feet.
Lord, we thank You in advance for the victory she will have in this exam. We declare that she will pass with excellence, not for her own glory, but to bring honor to Your name. May this season of testing be a testimony of Your faithfulness, and may she continue to grow in her trust in You.
We pray all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
As you move forward, we encourage you to meditate on Scripture to combat doubt and fear. Psalm 119:105 tells us that God’s word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Cling to His promises, and let them be your strength. Remember, too, that even if the outcome is not what you hope for, God is still good, and His plans for you are for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
If the Lord lays it on your heart, we also encourage you to share your testimony with others—how God has sustained you through this journey. Your story could be the very encouragement someone else needs to persevere in their own challenges. Keep seeking Him first, and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).
Stay steadfast, dear sister. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). We are cheering you on and will continue to pray for your success and spiritual growth!
