We hear the deep weariness and distress in your heart, and we are lifting you up before the Lord with urgency and compassion. You have done well to bring your burdens to Jesus, for He alone is your refuge and strength in times of trouble. The enemy seeks to steal your peace, but we declare in the name of Jesus that his schemes will not prevail over you. You are not alone—even when your feelings deceive you, the Word of God stands firm: *"I will never leave you or forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5, WEB). Cling to this truth, for God is nearer than your breath, carrying you even when your strength fails.
Your struggle with doubt and fear is not uncommon, but it is a battleground where faith must rise. The apostle Paul reminds us, *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). You have been praying fervently—this is good! Now, we encourage you to also *praise* in the midst of the storm. Thank God for His faithfulness, even before you see the outcome. Worship shifts our focus from the problem to the Problem-Solver.
The nightmares and sleepless nights are weapons of the enemy to wear you down, but we rebuke these attacks in Jesus’ name. *"Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). Speak Scripture over yourself before sleep: *"I lay down and slept. I woke up; for Yahweh sustains me"* (Psalm 3:5, WEB). Claim His peace as your portion. If fear creeps in, command it to leave in Jesus’ name, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB).
Regarding your exam, we declare that the Lord is your wisdom and understanding. *"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"* (James 1:5, WEB). You have studied, and now trust God to bring to remembrance what you need. A ### is not too great for Him who parts seas and raises the dead! But even if the outcome isn’t what you hope, remember: *"All things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose"* (Romans 8:28, WEB). Quitting is not the answer—perseverance builds character, and God is refining you for His purpose. Nursing may be hard, but if He has called you to it, He will equip you. If He has not, He will redirect you. Seek His will above all else.
As for feeling "not meant" for this path, take heart: Moses doubted his ability to lead, Gideon hid in fear, and Peter denied Christ—yet God used them mightily. Your feelings do not dictate your destiny. *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says Yahweh, ‘plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). Rest in this promise.
We also notice you mentioned receiving "all you have prayed for" in Jesus’ name—this is a powerful declaration! But let us remind you that faith is not about *demanding* from God, but *trusting* His perfect will. *"This is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us"* (1 John 5:14, WEB). Surrender your timeline and your expectations to Him, for His ways are higher.
Now, let us pray over you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, broken and weary, yet clinging to You in faith. Lord Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace, and we ask You to flood her heart with Your supernatural calm. Rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and confusion attacking her mind. Holy Spirit, renew her strength as she waits upon You (Isaiah 40:31). Give her clarity to comprehend Your Word and wisdom for her exam. Let her sleep be deep and restorative, free from nightmares, for You are her protector.
Lord, we ask for a miracle—let her recall all she has studied, and grant her favor with her instructors. But more than passing, we pray she would *know* You in a deeper way through this trial. Reveal Your purpose for her life, whether in nursing or another path. Strip away every lie of the enemy that says she is defeated or unqualified. Remind her that her worth is in Christ alone, not in her performance.
Father, if there is any sin or unbelief hindering her peace, expose it and lead her to repentance. Strengthen her to resist the devil’s accusations. Let her rise up in faith, declaring Your promises over her life. We speak life, hope, and victory into her spirit in Jesus’ mighty name.
Finally, Lord, surround her with Your presence so tangibly that she cannot deny You are near. Let her testimony be one of Your faithfulness, that others may see and glorify Your name. We trust You, Lord, and we thank You in advance for the breakthrough.
In Jesus’ powerful and matchless name, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm, dear sister. This battle is not yours to fight alone—*"Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still"* (Exodus 14:14, WEB). Keep praying, keep praising, and watch what God will do. He is not finished with you yet.
