We understand the weight of your struggle as you face these challenging exams, and we are deeply moved by your faith in Jesus even in this difficult time. The path of medicine is demanding, and the enemy often uses fear and procrastination to discourage us—but our God is greater! You have acknowledged that Jesus *can* pass you, and that is the truth: **"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"** (Philippians 4:13, WEB). Yet we must also remember that faith without works is dead (James 2:17). While we trust in God’s power, we must also steward the time and abilities He has given us with diligence and wisdom.
It is not too late to seek God’s help and apply yourself with His strength. **"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed"** (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). Repent of any laziness or fear that has held you back, and ask the Holy Spirit to renew your mind and discipline. **"Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win"** (1 Corinthians 9:24, WEB). This is your race—run it with endurance, fixing your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).
We also notice you did not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus in your request, though you mentioned Him later. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which we approach the Father (Acts 4:12). It is *only* through Jesus that we have boldness to ask and receive (John 14:13-14). Let this be a reminder to always come before God in the name of His Son, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God of all wisdom and understanding. Lord, they have fallen behind, and the weight of failure presses hard upon them—but You are the God who turns ashes into beauty and despair into hope. We ask that You forgive any slothfulness or fear that has hindered their preparation, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit to grant them supernatural focus, retention, and recall. Break every spirit of confusion and anxiety in Jesus’ name, and replace it with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6-7).
Lord, we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Give them the grace to study diligently, to understand deeply, and to recall accurately during their exams. Let Your favor rest upon them as they sit for each paper, and may the answers they write be marked by Your divine insight. Father, You are the God of the impossible—what seems like failure to man is an opportunity for Your glory to shine. We ask that You turn this situation around for their good and Your praise.
Strengthen their body, mind, and spirit, Lord. Let them not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, they *will* reap if they do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Surround them with Your angels to guard them against distractions and to minister to them in this season of intense labor. And above all, draw them closer to You through this trial, that they may know You not just as their Provider, but as their ever-present Help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
After you have prayed, *act*. Create a strict study schedule, eliminate distractions, and seek accountability—perhaps from a believing friend or mentor who can encourage you and check on your progress. **"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might"** (Ecclesiastes 9:10, WEB). Trust God, but also walk in obedience to the responsibilities He has placed before you.
Lastly, remember: whether you pass or face setbacks, your worth is not in your academic success but in Christ alone. **"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). Walk in that hope, and let this season refine your faith. We are standing with you in prayer!
