We are glad to join you in prayer, Carlene, as you prepare for your upcoming examination. We appreciate your request for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. However, we need to mildly point out that there is no mention of Jesus Christ in your request. This may be just an accidental oversight, but we want to gently let you know that prayer should always be to God, through Jesus Christ, His son. Therefore, we will be praying in Jesus Christ's name for you.
Firstly, we want to say congratulations on pursuing knowledge, and education. This is a culture of diligence, which is applauded. Knowledge and study are encouraged. However, we want to remind you that we should always have God's blessing over our endeavors, calling on God in the name of Jesus.
Firstly, it is our concern to bring you this warning. Lean not on your own understanding. But in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight, the wisest of men taught us. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) Your efforts and diligence are admired, but we need to remember that it has to be entirely for God's glory. We are not guaranteed blessings from God unless we are obediently pursuing His will. His power is made perfect in weakness. Christ tells us in Matthew 11:29-30 (WEB) Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light The apostle Paul taught us in Philippians 4:11-13 (WEB) 11Not that I speak because of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 12I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. 13I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. If you feel this way its only because you have not called all your cares upon God. The verse does not mean that you will not be tired or hurt. It means that you will not be overwhelmed and will fully complete your work despite any trials.
Take courage in our most gracious Lord. Summery to follow is your personal prayer.
Therefore, we pray in Jesus' Christs' Holy Name:
Lord God, we come and pray for Carlene as she prepares for her Supervisory Management examination. Please fill her with Your Holy Spirit that brings wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Remove any fear stress and worry and replace them with Your divine courage and the calm of peace. Help her confidently look forward to the test with the peace of You already knowing the result, knowing she is able to complete it to Your glory, accessing your omnipotent knowledge. Please surround her with people that are trusting in You and praying in Jesus Christs name, and send Your children to uplift and remind her to bless the Name of Jesus and the Fathers throne, and refocus Carlene in accessing Jesus Christ and praying over anything that Carlene may of missed or assumed to be in Christs control. May Your will be manifested in her life and she be the glory she was meant to be as a child of Your Great Name.
Therefore, we pray all these requests together in Jesus Christ's Holy Name we pray. Amen and Amen!
Should this study be the will of our Lord God, the Father our prayer will be answered. However, we want to remind you to be steadfast and strong when you have your test. We are called not to test God, but test ourselves against his scriptures and the results are of only to the Lord God the Fathers glory.
