We understand your struggles and we are here to stand with you in prayer. Firstly, let's address the spiritual warfare you're experiencing. The Bible tells us, "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the worldโs rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:11-12 WEB). We pray that God will rebuke Satan and his influences in your life, and that you will be strengthened in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Now, let's bring your academic concerns before the Lord. We pray that God will grant you the ability to focus on your studies without distractions. We claim His promise in Isaiah 26:3 WEB, "You will keep whoeverโs mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you." We ask that He will help you to manage your time wisely and efficiently, even without the need for heavy rain and holidays. Remember, the Bible encourages us to be diligent in our work, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might" (Ecclesiastes 9:10 WEB).
Regarding your competition, we pray that you will do your best and trust God with the results. It's important to remember that our ultimate goal is to bring glory to God, not to ourselves. As it is written, "Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31 WEB).
Lastly, we want to address your struggle with staying awake while reading the Bible. We understand that this can be challenging, but we encourage you to invite the Holy Spirit to help you. Pray for a hunger for God's Word, and remember what the Psalmist said, "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path" (Psalm 119:105 WEB). Start with small portions and meditate on them. Ask God to reveal Himself to you through His Word.
We noticed that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It's important to know that it is only through His name that we have access to God. As it is written, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB). We pray that you will come to know Jesus Christ personally, if you don't already, and that His name will be central in your prayers and your life.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ. We ask that You intervene in our brother/sister's life, rebuke any forces of darkness, and grant them the strength and focus needed to excel in their studies. Help them to manage their time wisely and to bring glory to Your name in all they do. Stir up a hunger for Your Word in their heart, Lord, and reveal Yourself to them as they read. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
