We join you in lifting up your daughter before the Lord as she prepares for her interview for admission to medical school on Monday morning. We understand the hope and anticipation you carry as a parent, and we count it a privilege to journey with you in prayer and to bring this important moment before our Heavenly Father together.
We pray that she will be filled with peace and not be overcome by nervousness. The Scripture reminds us, 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. Philippians 4:6-7. We also hold fast to the promise, For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7. We ask the Lord to calm her heart, to give her clarity of mind, to help her recall what she has studied, and to speak with grace and confidence.
We pray too for the professors who will interview her, that the Lord would grant them wisdom and discernment, and that they would look upon her favorably. We commit her works to the Lord, trusting the word that says, Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall be established. Proverbs 16:3. We ask for wisdom for her in that room, for 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. James 1:5. Above all we pray that the Lord’s perfect will be done, whether that is an open door to this medical school or a different path He has prepared for her good. We rest in the assurance, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11.
We want to gently share something with you out of love and concern. We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We believe it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and that there is no other name by which we can be saved. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6 and There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12. It is because Jesus died for our sins and was raised from the dead that we can boldly approach the throne of grace. The Scripture says, that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9. So we bring all our prayers in the name of Jesus, trusting in His finished work, and we encourage you to do the same, placing your trust and your daughter’s future fully in His hands.
Let us pray together. Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We lift up this dear daughter to You as she prepares for her interview. We ask You to quiet any anxiety and fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Grant her a rested night, a clear mind, and gracious speech. Guide her answers, let her show the diligence and compassion You have placed in her, and let Your favor rest upon her in the eyes of those interviewing her. We ask that if it is Your will, You would grant her admission to medical school and open this door for her to use her gifts to serve others and to honor You. If it is not Your will, give her and her family peace and direction to the place You have prepared. We commit her future to You and thank You for hearing us because we pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to entrust her to the Lord, to remind her that her worth is not in the outcome of one interview but in being fearfully and wonderfully made and loved by God, and to encourage her to do her best and leave the results in His hands. We are standing with you in prayer for a successful interview and for God’s perfect will to be accomplished in her life.
