We are lifting you up in prayer, Stoaver, as you prepare for your college test tomorrow. We believe that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our academic pursuits.
Firstly, we want to encourage you with the words from Philippians 4:6-7 WEB: "In nothing be anxious, 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." It is important to cast all your anxieties on Him, and approach this test with a heart full of peace and confidence, knowing that God is with you.
We also want to remind you of the importance of preparing well, as Proverbs 21:5 WEB tells us. "The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Stoaver as they prepare for their college test tomorrow. We pray that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. We ask that You would grant them a good night's rest, a clear mind, and the ability to recall all that they have studied.
Lord, we know that every good and perfect gift comes from You, and we ask that You would bless Stoaver with the results of their test, according to Your will. Help them to trust in You, and to use the knowledge they gain for Your glory. We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you, Stoaver, to always keep God at the center of your academic pursuits. Remember that it is God who gives us the ability to gain wealth and knowledge, as Deuteronomy 8:18 WEB tells us. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.
Lastly, we want to emphasize the importance of acknowledging Jesus Christ in our prayers. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father, and it is by His name that we are saved. As Acts 4:12 WEB tells us, "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." If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, that you may be saved and have a personal relationship with God.
