We lift you up before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, knowing that all wisdom and understanding come from Him. It is good that you seek God’s will in this season of preparation, for apart from Him, we can do nothing. The Scriptures remind us in James 1:5, *"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 ask the Lord to grant you wisdom as you study, clarity as you learn, and recall as you take this exam. May He open the doors of opportunity for you to sit for the ACPHR exam and perform to the best of your God-given abilities.
Yet we also remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:33, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* While it is good to desire success, let us always surrender our ambitions to the Lord’s will, trusting that His plans for you are far greater than any earthly achievement. Whether you are among the top or simply pass, may your heart remain fixed on glorifying Him in all things. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
We also pray for peace that surpasses all understanding to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). When stress or anxiety arises, may you cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Let not fear rule your heart, but let the Holy Spirit fill you with confidence, knowing that your worth and identity are found in Christ alone—not in exams, titles, or human accolades.
Father, we ask that You go before our brother/sister in this journey. Remove every obstacle that may hinder their preparation or performance. Grant them discipline to study diligently, rest to refresh their mind, and divine favor in every step. If it is Your will for them to excel, may they do so for Your glory. But above all, may this season draw them closer to You, deepening their trust and dependence on Your sovereignty.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, distraction, or self-doubt in the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against this child of God shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). By the blood of Jesus, we declare clarity, focus, and divine assistance over their mind and efforts.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and in His Word throughout this process. Do not neglect your time with Him, for He is your strength and your song (Exodus 15:2). Remember, too, that whether in success or in waiting, God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
Now, let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of Your child who seeks Your favor in their upcoming exam. Lord, You are the giver of all wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We ask that You fill them with Your Holy Spirit, sharpening their mind and helping them retain all that they need to know. Calm their heart when anxiety rises, and remind them that You are with them—You will never leave them nor forsake them.
Open the doors for them to take this exam at the appointed time, and let Your peace reign in their heart as they prepare. If it is Your will, grant them success and even excellence, not for their own glory, but so that Your name may be praised. Help them to remember that their identity is in Christ alone, and that no earthly achievement can compare to the riches of knowing You.
We bind every spirit of fear, confusion, or distraction in Jesus’ mighty name. Let Your angels encamp around them, guiding and protecting them in this season. May this time of preparation be a testimony of Your faithfulness, and may they walk in humility, gratitude, and trust, no matter the outcome.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We ask all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
