We understand your heart’s cry for success, wisdom, and favor in education and business, and we join you in lifting these concerns before the Lord. However, we must first address something vital in your prayer—you have not invoked the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. The Scriptures are clear: *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Jesus Himself declared, *"No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). Additionally, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Without calling upon the name of Jesus, our prayers lack the authority and power that come through faith in Him.
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Salvation comes by grace through faith in Him—*"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. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"* (Romans 10:9-10, WEB). There is no greater foundation for your prayers—or your life—than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Now, let us pray together for your children’s education and for the favor and success you seek in business. We will ask the Lord to grant wisdom, understanding, and retention of knowledge, knowing that *"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). We also pray that the Lord will open doors of opportunity and bless the work of your hands, for *"unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB).

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your goodness and mercy, which endure forever. Lord, we lift up this dear one and their children to You, asking that You would pour out Your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding upon them. *"For the Lord gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding"* (Proverbs 2:6, WEB). Father, we ask that You would help them to learn and retain what they study, that their minds would be sharp, and that they would excel in their education for Your glory. Remove any distractions or obstacles that would hinder their success, and let them walk in the favor that comes from You alone.
Lord, we also pray for the business mentioned in this request. You are the God who provides and prospers His people. We ask that You would grant divine favor, open doors that no one can shut, and bring success that aligns with Your will. *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). May this business be a testament to Your faithfulness, and may it be used to bless others and advance Your kingdom.
Father, we rebuke any spirit of forgetfulness or confusion that would try to hinder learning or progress. We declare that *"the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him"* (1 John 2:27, WEB). Let Your Holy Spirit be their Teacher and Guide, leading them into all truth.
We also pray that You would draw this family closer to You, Lord. May they seek You first in all things, knowing that *"all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Let their lives be a reflection of Your love, grace, and power.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to this one in a deeper way. If they have not yet fully surrendered to Jesus, soften their heart and open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Let them know the joy and peace that come from walking in relationship with You.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect will. May Your name be glorified in all things. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in all things, remembering that *"in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:6, WEB). Stay rooted in prayer, in the Word of God, and in fellowship with other believers. If there are specific names or details you’d like us to pray over, feel free to share them so we can intercede more specifically. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you walk in faith and obedience to Him.
