A Prayer for Exam Season

A Prayer for Exam Season
 

Dear Friends,

The URC offers this prayer, for private and public use as youngsters, and not so youngsters, across these islands revise, prepare, and sit their examinations. School and College exam seasons in the UK start in Scotland on 22nd April and in England, Wales, and the Crown Dependencies around 4th May.  They end between 2nd and 26th June.   University exams and assignment deadlines are around this time too.

O God, source of all wisdom,
give strength, peace, and resolve
to all who are now studying for their exams.
Help them balance rest and work,
refreshment and study,
play and sleep,
that they may find their ultimate worth in You.
Calm nerves,
concentrate minds,
and increase understanding,
but, above all, remind us that our value
is not measured in academic performance,
but in Your great love for us.
Amen. 

With every good wish

Andy
