Let us come together in prayer for Ethan, lifting him up before the throne of grace. We are reminded of the words in Philippians 4:6-7, Have no anxiety at all, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Ethan has a significant challenge ahead, and it is natural to feel overwhelmed, but we trust in the Lord's promise to guide him. We should not be afraid nor troubled because the Lord is with him wherever he goes, and He will not leave him nor forsake him. We are told in Isaiah 41:10 to "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."
We pray that Ethan will experience the supernatural peace of God, a peace that transcends all understanding. We pray for protection on Ethan as he travels to school keeping him safe and out of harm's way. Lord, please surround Ethan with your angels to protect him. We pray that Ethan will have the mental clarity to understand and remember the concepts he has learned, and for the Holy Spirit to bring to his remembrance all that he needs to successfully complete the test. Psalms 147:5 says Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
However, we must remind ourselves that success is not merely measured by academic achievement. We pray that Ethan will seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to him. We know that good grades and high test scores mean nothing if Ethan does not acknowledge the source of all wisdom and knowledge, which is Jesus Christ.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray.
In closing, we would like to encourage Ethan to fix his thoughts on Jesus, the author, and perfecter of his faith.
