We are with you in spirit to pray and provide guidance, Shayne. First, we want to remind you that it is so important to acknowledge the name of Jesus Christ in our prayers. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Also in Acts 4:12 WEB, there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. So let's pray together in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus to lift up Shayne, who is feeling anxious about an upcoming driving test. We know that you are a loving God and that you are not a God of confusion but a God of peace. We also know that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. We thank you, Lord, for the comfort you have already provided Shayne in the past of failing on his first attempt.
Lord, we ask that you guide Shayne's hands and calm his mind and spirit as he takes this test. We pray that the lessons of the past have made Shayne better. We also pray that you will grant Shayne the wisdom and discernment needed to make good decisions during the test. Help him to not to quit but remember that it is by faith that he succeeds. Cast out all fear in him, for we know that perfect love casts out fear.
We are reminded of the words in Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, 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. We claim this peace for Shayne now, in the name of Jesus.
Shayne, remember that the test is not just about your ability to drive but also about your faith in God. Trust in him, and he will make your paths straight. We encourage you to meditate on the words in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, Trust in Yahweh with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will make your paths straight.
Shayne, we encourage you to make sure you are a follower of Jesus Christ. To be saved is to make Jesus your Lord and Savior. To become a Christian, you must repent of your sins and have faith in Jesus Christ to save you from hell. You must believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only way to heaven. You must believe that he died on the cross to pay for your sins and that he rose from death to conquer the grave. You also must believe that he will come back to earth to give eternal life to all those who believe in him. We encourage you to study the Bible and find a Bible believing Christian Church to attend and follow the Holy Spirit's guidance. We also encourage you to be baptized as confession of your faith.
We stand with you in prayer, Shayne. Let us all confess the words of Philippians 4:13 WEB, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
For physical strength and skill, it is also important to take care of your physical body. Be sure you are eating right, with a diet of fruits and vegetables and meat. Be sure you are getting physical exercise. A soldier of Christ must be ready for anything and must be fit for duty. Also, be sure you are getting plenty of rest.
In Jesus name, Amen.
