We join you in giving thanks to the Lord for His mercy in waking us each morning and for the gift of good health, and we stand with you in prayer for your family and especially for your daughter as she continues in school.
We are encouraged by your thankful heart and by your faith to commit all things to Him, for we know that every good gift comes from His hand. We rejoice that you have brought these requests in the precious name of Jesus, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father. As it is written, 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.
For your health and your family's health we remember the promise in 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers. And for your daughter's safety we cling to Psalm 121:7-8 Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore. We trust that the Lord watches over her steps at home and at school.
For wisdom in her exams we are reminded of the gracious invitation in James 1:5 But 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. And also Proverbs 2:6 For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. The Lord delights to give wisdom to those who seek Him with a sincere heart and to calm anxious thoughts as she prepares. Philippians 4:6-7 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.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we thank You for Your loving kindness that renews each morning and for sustaining us in good health. We thank You for life and breath and for Your protection over this family. Lord, we ask You to continue to uphold them in health and strength according to Your will, and to help them to honor You with their bodies and their lives. We lift up this dear daughter to You. We ask You to encamp around her and keep her safe as she goes to and from school, to guard her from harm and from evil influences, and to let her feel Your presence with her each day. Father, as she faces sets of exams, we ask You to pour out upon her wisdom, knowledge, understanding and a sound mind. Remove anxiety and fear and grant her clarity, diligence and peace as she studies and as she answers. Help her to do all things heartily as unto You and to trust not in her own strength but in You who makes all things possible. We commit all of these prayers into Your hands, trusting in Your perfect love and perfect timing. We pray all of this in the most precious and mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and hope, amen.
We encourage you to continue to cover her in prayer daily, to speak scripture over her as she studies, and to remind her that her worth is not in her grades but in Christ, and that God will use her diligence for His glory. We will keep standing with you in prayer for continued health, safety and godly wisdom.
