Heavenly Father,
We come before You with humble hearts, lifting up Natalie Recio as she prepares to take her important nursing exam this morning. Lord, Your Word assures us in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." We pray that Natalie feels Your peace and presence as she sits for this exam.
Grant her clarity of mind, focus, and recall of all she has studied. As it is written in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." We ask for Your wisdom to be upon her, guiding her thoughts and decisions during the test.
Lord, we also pray for strength and confidence for Natalie. Remind her of Your promise in Isaiah 41:10, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." May this assurance fill her heart and mind, knowing that You are with her every step of the way.
We thank You, Lord, for the calling You have placed on her life to serve others through nursing. May this exam be a stepping stone to fulfilling that calling, and may she always rely on Your guidance and strength in her journey.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
