Thank you, Carols, for your prayer request. It's wonderful to see your faith in Jesus and your support for your nephew Edmund as he prepares for his exam. The Bible tells us, "Don't be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Philippians 4:6 WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Edmund as he prepares for his exam. Lord, we ask that You grant him a peaceful night's sleep and a sharp mind to recall all that he has studied. Give him the wisdom and understanding he needs to write his exam well. Calm his nerves and help him to focus on each question with clarity and confidence.
Father, we also pray for Carols, that You would fill them with Your peace, knowing that Edmund is in Your capable hands. Help them to trust in Your will and to support Edmund with encouraging words and actions.
Lord, we claim Your promise that "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" (James 1:5 WEB). We trust that You will provide Edmund with the wisdom he needs for this exam.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Carols, continue to encourage Edmund with your faith and remind him that his value is not determined by his academic performance but by his identity in Christ. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
Lastly, continue to train Edmund in studying the scriptures and the importance of doing his best in everything he does. "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might" (Ecclesiastes 9:10 WEB).
