Prayer for those facing exams

Lord Jesus, You are the source of all wisdom.

Be with me as I take this exam. Keep my mind alert and my memory sharp. Calm my nerves and help me concentrate. I know that You walk with me, guiding my path and inspiring my heart.

Only Your peace can sustain me through the anxiety and stresses of exam nerves. Your peace surpasses all understanding. I ask for this gift and choose to lean upon You at this time.

I pray that You would help me pass this exam.

Thank You for your guidance in leading me to this study and for sustaining me as I have worked for this qualification. I ask now that Your spirit would lead me.

Come sharpen my thinking and help me to excel in this test of my learning and understanding. May I be able to recall everything I need from my studies and answer each question well.

Lord, come and remind me of Your unfailing love. Remind me that You hold me safe, You understand me and You cherish me.

I lay down my fears before You. I leave them at the foot of the cross, for You have overcome the world. I choose to give You all my concerns, worries and fears of failure.

I trust that Your loving hand will hold me through these exams and lead into a bright future. I pray that I would feel You with me, And that Your friendship would soften the pressure I feel.

Lord Jesus, I pray that I would pass this exam and go on to new things with You. May I never walk out of Your will for my life.

Close the doors You want to close and open wide the doors You want to open – for Your glory alone.

Thank you for Your peace and Your love in my life. Thank You for Your kindness and care for me.

A parent’s prayer 

Father God,

As our children prepare for their exams, be by their side.

Open their minds, awaken their intelligence and bless their skills. Let them not tire physically or emotionally.

May they begin and end each exam with a prayer of trust and thanksgiving in Your Son Jesus Christ.

May the Holy Spirit be their guide, bestest friend and confidante now and forever.

Amen.
