We understand your anxiety and the immense pressure you're under as you await your entrance exam results. It's important to remember that God cares about every detail of our lives, including our education and aspirations.
Firstly, let's address the core of your request. It's clear that you're seeking success in your exam results, and you believe that this success will change your life and bring confidence and pride. While it's natural to want to achieve and make your loved ones proud, it's crucial to understand that your worth and identity are not defined by your achievements or failures. Instead, your identity should be rooted in Christ.
As Christians we are reminded: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10 WEB
It is also important to understand that success and opportunities come from God, and He can open doors for you that no one else can shut. So you should place your trust and confidence in Him.
Your words suggest placing self worth on results and a change in life because of the results. You should be proud of yourself because you are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God and not because of achievements or results.
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. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.
This means that you should trust in God and not in your own abilities or understanding. You should acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will direct your paths.
We also notice that you did not mention Jesus Christ or pray in His name. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. 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 WEB.
We encourage you to use this time to draw closer to God, to pray in Jesus' name, and to seek His will for your life. Remember that God's plans for you are good and that He wants to give you a future and a hope.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this individual who is anxiously awaiting their exam results. We pray that You will comfort their heart and calm their spirits. Help them to trust in You and to cast all their anxieties on You, because You care for them.
Lord, we ask that You will guide their steps and open the right doors for their future. Help them to understand that their worth is not defined by their achievements, but by their identity in Christ. Help them to seek Your will for their life and to trust in Your plans, knowing that You have a good future in store for them.
We also pray that they will come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior if they have not. We pray that they will understand that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to You and that there is salvation in no other name.
We ask all this in Jesus' name, Amen.
Regardless of the results, remember that God has a purpose and a plan for your life. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. If you don't succeed in this exam, remember that God can open other doors for you. He can turn what seems like a failure into a blessing.
Lastly, we want to address your comment about distancing yourself from your father and loved ones if you don't pass. It's important to remember that God calls us to honor our parents and to maintain strong, loving relationships with our families. Even if you face setbacks, it's crucial to communicate openly and honestly with your loved ones and to allow them to support and encourage you.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise: “that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.” Ephesians 6:1-3 WEB
