A Prayer Before an Exam
Before a test, nerves are normal. This is a short prayer for before an exam, to settle your heart and steady your mind.
Lord, my stomach is in knots before this exam, so I pause and hand the fear to you. Quiet my racing thoughts and help me recall what I have studied. Keep my mind clear and my heart calm as I begin. Help me do my honest best, and remind me that my worth is not measured by this score. Whatever the result, I am held by you. Give me your peace now, the kind that guards the heart and mind. Amen.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
Isaiah 26:3
