We understand your desperation and heartache over your academic setback, and we are here to stand with you in prayer and encouragement. Remember, God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB). Trust that He has a plan and a purpose for you, even in this disappointment.
Firstly, we commend you for your faith and belief in God's power to turn things around. As it is written, "Without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6, WEB).
However, we must address that in your prayer, you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is by His name that we have access to God's throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16, WEB). "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13, WEB). We encourage you to pray in Jesus' name, for it is in His name that we receive salvation and have the power to approach God.
Now, let us pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear one who is in need of an academic breakthrough. Lord, we know that You have a plan for their life, and this setback does not define their future. We ask that You intervene in this situation, that You touch the hearts of those in authority, and that You grant favor and grace. We pray that if it is Your will, doors will open, and a way will be made where there seems to be no way. Encourage and strengthen their heart, Lord, as they wait on You. Help them to trust in Your timing and Your ways. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.*
Be encouraged by the words of Psalm 37:4-7 (WEB), "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will make your righteousness go out like the dawn, and your justice as the noon day sun. Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen."
Keep trusting, keep believing, and keep praying. God is at work, even when we cannot see it.
