We understand that you desire excellence for Jothir Aditya in his studies. While we commend your enthusiasm for his education, we must remind you that our focus should be on diligence, understanding, and growth, rather than just high marks or being first. The Bible tells us in Colossians 3:23, Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men.
Firstly, we notice that Jesus' name or title is not mentioned. We must remember that it is only by His name that we come before God the Father. As it says in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Now, let us pray for Jothir Aditya:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Jothir Aditya to You. Lord, we pray for wisdom, discernment, and knowledge for him. Help him to understand his subjects well and give him a strong desire and determination to learn, with the guidance of Your Holy Spirit.
We do not pray for centum or to stand first, but we pray that he would do his best and be the best he can be, using the gifts and abilities You have given him. Let him learn to be content with whatever he has, as it is written in Hebrews 13:5, Be content with what you have, for he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.
If getting high marks is Your will for him, then let it be so. But above all, let him grow in character, humility, and love for You and others. Help him to recognize that true success is found in You and that his value is not determined by his grades, but by You.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
In addition, Mieruurira, remember that God's plan for Jothir Aditya is for him to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, Jesus Christ. This may or may not include being the best student, but it certainly includes growing in godliness and holiness. So, encourage him to study and do his best but, most importantly, encourage him to grow in love for the Lord Jesus Christ and for others.
