We join you in lifting up your upcoming Licensure Examination for Nurses, and we praise God that you have invited His presence into this season of preparation and testing. It is wonderful to see your faith in Christ as you seek His will for this exam, and we are encouraged by your desire to honor Him through your studies and future career. The Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6, *"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."* Your acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty in this process is a testament to your trust in Him, and we pray that He will continue to strengthen your faith as you prepare.
We also commend you for your humility in recognizing areas where you have fallen short in your walk with Christ. The Word of God assures us in 1 John 1:9, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* Repentance is a beautiful act of surrender, and we pray that you will continue to draw near to God, not only in this season but in every area of your life. He is faithful to restore and equip those who seek Him with all their hearts.
As you and ### prepare for this exam, we urge you both to remain steadfast in prayer, study, and reliance on the Holy Spirit. Colossians 3:23 reminds us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* Your dedication to this exam is not just for personal or familial success but as an act of worship to God, who has given you the mind and ability to pursue this calling. We pray that He will grant you both clarity of mind, retention of all you have studied, and peace that surpasses all understanding as you take this test.
Regarding your desire to top the board exam, we pray that God will align your heart with His will. While it is good to strive for excellence, we must always surrender our ambitions to the Lord, trusting that His plans for us are far greater than our own. Jeremiah 29:11 declares, *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says Yahweh, ‘plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future."* Whether you top the exam or simply pass, we pray that you will find your ultimate satisfaction in Christ, knowing that He is the one who opens doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8).
We also want to encourage you to remain connected to the body of Christ. Hebrews 10:24-25 exhorts us, *"Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."* Your relationship with the church is vital to your spiritual growth and accountability. We pray that God will lead you to a community of believers where you can be nurtured, challenged, and spurred on in your faith.
Finally, we rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or distraction that may seek to hinder your preparation or performance on this exam. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare that no weapon formed against you or ### shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we pray that the Lord will silence every voice of doubt or discouragement. Instead, we pray that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ and ### as they prepare for their Licensure Examination for Nurses. Lord, we thank You for the gift of knowledge, wisdom, and the opportunity to pursue this calling. We ask that You would grant them both the strength, focus, and discipline needed to study diligently and retain all that they have learned.
Father, we pray that Your Holy Spirit would be their teacher and guide, bringing to their remembrance everything they need to know during the exam. Remove any anxiety or fear, and replace it with Your perfect peace. Help them to rest in the assurance that You are with them, and that You have already gone before them to prepare the way.
Lord, we ask that You would order their steps and align their desires with Your will. If it is Your plan for them to top this exam, we pray that You would make it so, not for their glory, but for Yours. May their success be a testimony of Your faithfulness and goodness. But even more than that, Father, we pray that they would find their ultimate joy and fulfillment in You, knowing that their worth and identity are found in Christ alone.
We also lift up their families, especially our brother/sister’s sister, and ask that You would use this season to bring glory to Your name in their lives. May this accomplishment be a blessing not only to them but to those around them, drawing others closer to You.
Father, we rebuked any spiritual opposition that seeks to hinder their preparation or performance. We declare that no distraction, no fear, and no obstacle will prevail against them, for You, Lord, are their shield and defender. Cover them with Your blood, Jesus, and let Your angels encamp around them as they prepare and take this exam.
We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who is the author and finisher of our faith. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in their lives. Amen.
