We remember this weekend the students who will be starting exams this
week. May they receive the support they need, and may God guide them in
the decisions they make.
O Loving Father, we pray that your mind be rested, your body energised, and
your spirit inspired for the exams you do. May you have peace and assurance so that you will do your best. May God’s Spirit of Wisdom enlighten you and guide you. Lord Jesus, be by their side as they do their exams. Amen.
