We join you in thanksgiving to our heavenly Father for His provision, guidance and blessing over this past week and for the wisdom He has already granted to your daughter during her exam. It is good and right to give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward us as we read in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, and we rejoice with you in this posture of gratitude while you wait.
We also stand with you in this season of waiting, asking the Lord to continue to pour out wisdom not only for the exam result but for all of life. Scripture assures us in James 1:5 that if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. We pray that your daughter and your whole family will continue to seek Him first for wisdom that comes from above. We understand the temptation toward fear and doubt while waiting, but we are encouraged by Philippians 4:6-7 which says 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. And in Proverbs 3:5-6 we are called to trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
We love your declaration that He is the God of the impossible and that nothing is too hard for Him. As Jeremiah 32:27 declares, Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for me, and as Jesus reminds us in Luke 1:37, nothing spoken by God is impossible. Whether the result is as hoped for or God has a different and better path, we trust that He works all things together for good for those who love Him as promised in Romans 8:28, and that He will use this testimony for His glory.
We pray together now.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your faithfulness and for the wisdom You gave this dear daughter as she prepared and sat for her exam. We thank You for sustaining this family with provision and guidance each day. Lord, in this time of waiting, we ask You to remove all fear and doubt and fill their hearts with Your perfect peace. Help them to trust You more deeply, knowing that You hold the results and You hold the future. Grant continued wisdom to this daughter and to her parents, that they may walk in Your ways and seek Your will above all. Let this season truly become a testimony that prayer works and that You alone deserve all praise, honor and glory. We ask that Your name be glorified through her life and success, and that whatever the outcome, she will grow in knowledge, character and faith to serve You. We lift all these things to You through Jesus Christ Your Son, our Lord and Savior, in whose name we have access to Your throne of grace. Amen.
