A Prayer before Exams

Loving God, as I begin this time of exams,
I feel some anxiety and frustration.
Help me to stay focused.

Give me a clear mind,

to perform to the best of my ability.
Help me to study with dedication and vigor.

Grant me silence so that I may process the knowledge I have obtained.
Let me sleep peacefully at night, so that I am refreshed and renewed for my upcoming exams.

Be with me, gentle God, during these days.
Please sustain me,
I pray to you, my dear Lord.
Please never let me panic nor get nervous
Just let me be at ease and give my very best

Please never let me guess nor rely on pure luck
but enlighten my mind and let me think clearly

Please never let me resort to chances nor to dishonesty
but let me work to the fullest of my ability

I pray for your guidance that as i think,
I may find the right solutions,
I may be able to correctly answer the questions
I may solve those difficult problems

I ask, oh Lord, your intercession that as i write,
I may not be careless nor overconfident
I may not be distracted but be more concentrated
I may not be in a hurry nor take the exams too lightly.

As I am getting ready to take the examinations
Let me, with your help, give my best effort
Let me, because of You, receive the best and fruitful result.

Mary, Mother of my spiritual life,
guide me in the ways of your Son,
so that my work may help
to transform this world for His glory.

I make this prayer in your precious Name, Jesus Christ - Amen
