What is a powerful prayer for exam success?

Prayer for Successful Testing and Exams

Lord Jesus, You know that I am very anxious about the tests and exams that I have to face very soon, and ask that You would calm my anxious, clouded thoughts. Please calm these nerves that I have, and let me rest in You always.

God is stronger than you think. Exams are nothing to God. Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

- Psalm 144:2. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave or forsake you. - Deuteronomy 31:6.

Grant me grace in the eyes of the examiners and help me to get through my exams successfully. Lord, bless my feeble efforts and let me receive abundant blessings from Your hand. I know You will answer my prayer positively because You are the Lord who perfects everything for me.

Psalm 25:4-5

Show me Your ways, LORD, teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long.

Exams are excellent tools to assess what pupils have learned in certain topics. Exams will reveal which parts of the class each student appears to have remembered and shown the most interest in. Exams are also a fantastic opportunity for teachers to learn more about their pupils because each student is unique.

May the blessings of God be with you during the exams. All the best for your exam! I pray that this exam goes smoothly and you secure your desired grade. May God's guidance be with you during the exam and may you be able to answer each question correctly.

Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV– Have faith in God, He will not let you fail your exams. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

What to say to someone who is struggling with exams?

Father, during my exams, give my family and me good health, free from any exigencies. Give me a calm mind that trusts in You. Father, I thank You and praise You for making me victorious in Christ and honoring me by giving me great success in the exams. I pray in the mighty Name of Jesus and God the Father, Amen!

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Hebrews 10:24-25

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

Academics prepare us for the good works “which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10), enabled by the Holy Spirit. The dictionary definition for excellence is “the quality of being outstanding or extremely good”.

Are exams a good way to judge us?

Yes because… Academic competence and intelligence are not straightforward to measure and no method will fully capture the scope of a student's ability, but the fact remains that we need at least some formal system, otherwise the academic system will not work.

Yes, Board exams are important and a person should study all they can towards getting marks, but these do not decide our future in the absolute sense. There is much more to us than a percentage. What could make a person successful is the ability to see the rat race and understand that it isn't the end of the world!

Grant us favor, Loving Father, in the eyes of the examiners. We put our uttermost faith and trust in You to lead us to victory, in Jesus mighty name we pray, Amen and Amen!

Lord, I have worked hard, and I have gotten to this point. Thank you for being with me. Please bless me with good grades so that I can get accepted. Bless every test, every question, and every assignment.

4 things to say:

"Everyone fails at some point. Plenty of other people in our class are in the same position as you, and I know that you will all get through it." "Let me know how you're feeling, I'm here to listen for as long as you need me." "Let's take your mind off of things for a little bit and go for a walk."

The prayer of protection. The prayer of transformation. The prayer of restoration.

Lord Jesus, I come before you, just as I am, I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In your Name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works.
