Junior students are preparing for the end of year exams please keep them in your prayers.

PRAYER FOR STUDENTS DURING EXAMS

Lord, I pray for students who are sitting final exams this time of the year, those I know and those I do not know. You alone know how I experienced similar times with a sense of loneliness, challenge, anxiety, and stress.

Reach out and touch the hearts and minds of students with a sense that you are with them; with confidence to face the challenge; and with the realisation that their anxiety and stress can be a positive energy in their pursuit of excellence.

Give them insight to understand what they have studied and help them to remember it when the time comes.

Help them to keep in perspective the many gifts and talents you have already given them, that they may use them for the greater honor and glory of God.

Amen

As this is the month of Remembrance, please clip out this Spiritual Bouquet to go into the Prayer box at the Church. Students have these available in Whanau group.
