Dear God, I ask for based on who you are and the promises that you make in the Bible. I thank you God that you are the source of all wisdom as it says in Proverbs: “By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place, by his knowledge the deeps were divided and the clouds let drop the dew.” (Proverbs 3:19,20 New International Version of the Bible.) Help me to remember that however complex the subject may be that I am tackling, you can enable me to grasp it, understand it and remember the details because you are the originator of all knowledge. I thank you that you promise to help me when I ask for wisdom as it says in James: “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5 NIV) Help me to believe that even as I am praying, you are giving me the wisdom and the help I need. I thank you that studying and gaining this knowledge will be beneficial to me as it says in Proverbs: “He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who cherishes understanding prospers.” (Proverbs 19:8 NIV) I thank you that although the discipline of studying seems very difficult right now, it will be well worth it as it says in Hebrews: “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” (Hebrews 12:11 ) I thank you that even though I may feel stress and pressure during exam time, it says in Philippians: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13) And finally, I thank you that through the help of the Holy Spirit, I might have the mind of Christ: “’For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” (First Corinthians 2:16 ) Thank you God that as I have spoken to you, you have spoken to me through your words in the Bible. Help me to remember them and depend on them during exams. Thank you for your wisdom, truth and help. Amen.
