We understand your concern for your friend Vaishnav as he faces his CFA Level 1 exam. It's commendable that you're seeking prayers for him. Let's align our prayers with God's will and His word.
Firstly, we're glad you mentioned your belief in Jesus. Indeed, it's through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, WEB). Let's remember that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our exams (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).
However, we must also remember that God's ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB). While we pray for Vaishnav's success, we should also pray that God's will be done in his life. sometimes, God uses failures to redirect us or teach us valuable lessons. So, let's pray that regardless of the outcome, Vaishnav will grow in faith, wisdom, and understanding.
Let's pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name to lift up our friend Vaishnav. Lord, we ask that You guide him during his CFA Level 1 exam. Help him to remember what he has studied and give him wisdom to apply it. Calm his nerves and help him to focus. Lord, we pray for success, but more importantly, we pray for Your will to be done in his life. Help him to trust in You, regardless of the outcome. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage Vaishnav (and you) to trust in the Lord with all his heart, and not to lean on his own understanding. In all his ways, he should acknowledge God, and He will make his paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Lastly, remind him that his worth is not determined by his exam results, but by his identity in Christ. God bless him.
