Since this is my first time blogging, I'll like to, like all meetings, open with a word of prayer. The following is a prayer for exams that I found useful and inspiring.
Lord grant me the right attitude towards my examinations, That even when I study, I want to glorify your name. Give me the strength that I may press on, Perseverance that I can endure, Good health that I may study effectively.
Help me to be single-minded when I study, Remove all other thoughts, distractions and anxieties, Give me the ability to concentrate, The ability to understand and to remember.
Show me the way to study intelligently, To know what is important and what is not. Provide me Lord with quality time in my studies, Remove all tensions and fears within me. Fill me with thy confidence, Teach me to draw strength from you each day. Let me learn to trust you in such times.
In the examination hall, be with me Lord. Grant me the clarity and sharpness of thoughts. Let me not get distracted by things around me. Give me concentration and calmness Lord. Help me to gather my thoughts of what I've learnt. Grant me the discipline to space out time equally on all questions. Most of all, help me to complete the questions on time.
Despite examinations Lord, continue to grant me quality time with you, Let me not neglect you. Give me a balanced diet between my studies and service for you. I just want to commit the whole examination into your hands, Knowing that you are a God who cares and answers prayers.
THANK YOU! In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and Saviour, AMEN.
