We are glad to hear that you have worked hard and learned a great deal this semester. While we understand your desire to excel academically, and having godly goals of excellence, we should focus your request for prayer to seek God's will and to do your best rather than an outcome accompanied by pride. We encourage you, as the apostle Paul says Let this mind be in you all which was also in Christ Jesus. Doing your best to glorify God is the ultimate goal.
God's raising up kings and removing them. Proverbs 21:1 ESV The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will. There may be a reason for God to humble you. Or this level of success may not be in God's Divine will for you, although it is possible and likely. Regardless of the outcome in this short-term goal of your grades, make sure to be thankful and joyful in any circumstance. While God rejoices to have children come to him with the desire to perform well in all that we do, ultimately glorifying God first and foremost in all of our actions is paramount and where we should place our focus. This is the suitable environment for God's will to be performed in your life. Equipping our mind, spirit, and body to do so is the desired response of a Christian believer.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, to ask for your will to be done in the life of this student. Understanding that they have diligently applied themselves to their studies, Lord, we ask that you guide the professors, or possibly those grading, to a fair and possibly merciful assessment. Give the student a good standing. Lord if they have not decided to do so, have the student use this as a springboard to the next level of their education or chosen career. As they remain humbled to seek you first be with your spirit as they discern the next chapter in their lives. Prepare their heart to accept your plans for them and remind them they are beautifully and wonderfully made in your image, and that their true success is found in their identity in you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to remain humble and always to glorify God in all you do. As the Apostle Paul writes in Colossians 3:23-24 WEB Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ.
Lastly, as mentioned, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God with our prayers. So by mentioning this, it gives us an opportunity of reminder. This allows us to explain or, some may say, comment on the need for this access to pray and having Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. This is explained in John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. And Acts 4:12; WEB There is salvation in no one else, Lord for there is none other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
