We join you, Mariposa, in lifting up your daughter Christina to our Lord Jesus Christ, as you have requested in Jesus name. We are reminded of the words in Philippians 4:13 WEB, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This verse reassures us that through Christ, Christina can succeed in her NCLEX exam and become the nurse that God has called her to be.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is only through His name that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:13-14: "Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.". And as it says in Acts 4:10-12 "be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. If Christina hasn't already done so it is important to acknowledge Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. It is in Jesus that Christina can pray for understanding and wisdom for her exam.
We pray that Christ will sharpen Christina's memory and give her the ability to concentrate as she studies and prepares for her exam. As it says in James 1:5 WEB, "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.". We ask God to grant Christina the wisdom and understanding she needs to pass her exam.
We also pray that Christina will not be anxious but will trust in the Lord with all her heart and lean not on her own understanding and acknowledge Him in all her ways as explained in Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths". We ask that Jesus will give Christina peace and calm her spirit as she prepares for and takes the exam.
While we understand your concern for Christina to pass her exam, we must remind you that our trust should not be in our own abilities or in the binding of wrong answers, but rather in God's will and His grace. God's plan for Christina is far greater than simply passing an exam. We pray that she will use her nursing skills to bring Him glory and further His kingdom as she nurses the sick, injured, and elderly or infirm with a heart of compassion as Jesus would do.
We lift Christina up to the Lord and ask that He guide her through this process, equipping her with the knowledge and skills she needs to be an amazing, caring, empathetic, and great nurse to the glory of God.
