We understand that you are pursuing a PhD and are feeling worried and scared about meeting the qualification criteria set by the university. You have written exams for subjects and are feeling overwhelmed, but you have faith that with God, it is possible. You have also acknowledged that you lack many things, but you are seeking prayers and want God to be glorified. You have expressed your intention to come back and give your testimony.
Firstly, we want to remind you that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us. As it is written in Philippians 4:13 WEB:
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
God is honored when we depend on Him and seek His help in our times of need. It is also important to remember that God's word encourages us not to be anxious about anything, but to pray about everything. As it is written 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.
We also want to remind you that God's wisdom is available to you. As it is written in James 1:5 WEB:
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our fellow believer who is pursuing their PhD. They are feeling worried and scared about meeting the qualification criteria set by the university. They have written exams for subjects and are feeling overwhelmed, but they have faith that with You, all things are possible. They have also acknowledged that they lack many things, but they are seeking Your help and want You to be glorified.
Father, we ask that You grant them Your wisdom and strength to overcome these challenges. Help them to trust in You and to cast all their anxieties on You. Guide them through this difficult time and help them to meet the qualification criteria. We pray that they will be a testimony of Your goodness and faithfulness.
We also pray that they will continue to seek You and give You all the glory. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust in God and to seek His will for your life. Remember that God is faithful and that He will never leave you nor forsake you. As it is written in Hebrews 13:5 WEB:
Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.
We look forward to hearing your testimony of God's faithfulness in your life. Keep studying the Bible and believing in Jesus Christ.
