Prayer for all sitting exams
Creator, God
We thank you that our names
are written on the palm of your hand,
Not in the way we write things on our hands
so as not to forget.
But because OUR name is constantly on your mind,
Because you KNOW us by name,
Because you CALL us by name
Because our name is PRECIOUS to you.
Today dear Lord
we lift to you all those who are preparing for exams.
Bring peace to their bodies,
Quieten the beats of their racing hearts,
Allow clarity to reign in their minds.
May they rest and rejoice knowing
YOU are speaking their name,
YOU created them and know their inmost being,
YOU have a plan for their lives.
God of peace surround them,
God of power go before them,
God of love, hold and sustain them.
Amen.
We ask you to pray for all our young parishioners who are preparing to sit their Junior and Leaving Certificate exams and all who are preparing for exams at this time.
