We rejoice with you in this season of preparation and trust that the Lord will guide you through your physiotherapy exams. It is clear you desire to excel, and we encourage you to lean fully on Christ, who is the source of all wisdom, understanding, and peace. The Bible reminds 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."* You have already taken the right step by seeking prayer, and we stand with you in agreement before the Lord.
However, we must lovingly address something important: prayer is to be directed to God alone—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—through the name of Jesus Christ. Scripture is clear that there is **one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus** (1 Timothy 2:5). Praying to Mary or any other created being is not supported by Scripture and can lead us away from the truth that **salvation and intercession are found in Christ alone**. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*, and **Acts 4:12** affirms, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Let us keep our focus on Jesus, who is faithful to hear and answer our prayers when we come to Him in faith.
As you prepare for your exams, we encourage you to cast all your fears and anxieties upon the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Fear does not come from God, but He has given us a spirit of **power, love, and sound mind** (2 Timothy 1:7). Trust in Him, and He will strengthen your memory, sharpen your mind, and calm your heart. **Proverbs 3:5-6** reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh 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 urge you to prioritize time in God’s Word and prayer during this season. **Psalm 119:99** says, *"I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation."* Let the Holy Spirit be your teacher as you study, and may He bring to your remembrance all that you have learned (John 14:26).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You as they prepare for their physiotherapy exams. Lord, You are the giver of all wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, and we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit to guide their mind and heart. Remove every trace of fear, anxiety, and doubt, and replace it with Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding. Sharpen their memory, grant them clarity of thought, and help them to recall all that they have studied with accuracy and confidence.
Lord, we declare that they are **more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them** (Romans 8:37). Let them walk into each exam with boldness, knowing that You are with them and that You have already gone before them to make a way. May they excel not for their own glory, but to bring honor to Your name, that others may see their good works and glorify You in heaven (Matthew 5:16).
We rebuke every spirit of fear, confusion, or distraction in the name of Jesus Christ. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we declare that they will **do exploits** for Your kingdom (Daniel 11:32). Strengthen them physically, mentally, and spiritually, and let them rest in the assurance that You are their provider and sustainer.
Father, we thank You in advance for the testimony of victory that will come from this season. May they pass each subject with excellence, and may their faith in You grow stronger through this experience. Let this time of preparation draw them closer to You, and may they continue to seek Your face in all things.
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
