Prayer for education success is the best kind of prayer to say for academic success and anything related. It is a good prayer for students and parents with wards in school. In this article, you are going to find a list of prayers that can ensure a fruitful educational and academic study.
I have prepared a list of prayers that will make this a possibility. They’ve been divided into several categories to ensure that you have a focused approach to praying for education success.
Prayers for Education Success
The following are prayers you should pray when you need success in your educational endeavors:
- Father, I ask that you help me through this academic program. I pray that it will end in success to the glory of your name, in the name of Jesus.
- Lord, I pray that the goal of this education program will be achieved. I ask that nothing will stop me from making headway and reaching the end in a victorious manner in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, Cause me to find favor in the sight of my lectures and fellow students. My journey through this school will be laced with your favor and mercy. I will enjoy favor before all.
- Give me the grace Lord to not be weary. Strengthen me on this academic journey because I know it might get difficult. I admit my need for your strength. Supply your strength and grace to see me through.
- Father, I ask that you send the right people my way. Bring me into a network with friends that will help me achieve academic success. And take me far away from people who would be stumbling blocks to my success.
- Lord, I ask for a financial supply to help me pay my fees promptly. I pray for continuous supply so I won’t have to drop out because of unpaid fees.
Prayer for Studying and Concentration
If you are about to read or just want to pray for your studies, these are some prayers to say before you begin to read:
- Father, as I begin to study, I ask for quick assimilation. Everything I read stays with me. I have a retentive memory and I will not forget anything I read in the name of Jesus
- Lord, I ask that you calm my soul and help me to be at rest. I need rest and peace to concentrate and focus. This I ask with thanksgiving in the name of Jesus.
- Father, I pray that the difficulties in this course are surmounted. I will understand what I am about to read and it will stay with me, Lord, in the name of Jesus
- Lord, I ask for quick understanding, the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding to make every difficult concept plain in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, I have a hard time concentrating when I try to read. I ask for your peace to flood my heart. Calm the raging storm in my mind that prevents me from staying steady and focusing on my academics. Help me Lord, in Jesus’s name.
Short Prayer Before Studying
As a student, say this prayer before studying:
Lord, as I am about to study for my test/exam, I ask that you help me. I need your help to understand everything I read and your wisdom to apply what I have read. I ask that my memory is sharp and I am quickwitted. I pray that I won’t waste my time studying and everything I read is going to remain with me.
The concepts that were a challenge to understand become easier than normal. Nothing is too difficult for me to understand because the Most Wise God lives inside of me. I embrace every challenge wholeheartedly because greater is He that is in me. Thank you, Lord.
I also pray that when I go to write my exam, I won’t struggle to remember the things I have studied. Amen
Prayer for Wisdom and Knowledge in School
One of the biggest needs of students everywhere is for wisdom and knowledge. Wisdom to apply correctly the things that are known and knowledge to know what one should.
As a student, you have to know what you are being taught so that you can meet the requirements for moving up to the next level. You need wisdom to be able to apply what you have known either during exams, while doing your project, or during an experiment.
The following are prayers for wisdom and knowledge that students should pray and parents can say these prayers for their children too:
- Heavenly Father, I ask that the excellent spirit that was in Daniel which made him 10x better than the magicians and wise men of Babylon, let it rest upon me right now, in the name of Jesus.
- Father, your word in 1 John 2:20 says that I have an unction and I know all things. Lord, even the things I do not know that I should know, cause a divine revelation that will bring them to my knowledge, in the name of Jesus.
- Father, there are courses that seem a bit difficult. I ask for your wisdom to find a way to fully understand what they are about. I will no longer struggle to understand them in the name of Jesus.
- Father, I ask that I have the wisdom to see how the concepts and the things I am learning have applications in relevant areas of life. I will not just have theoretical knowledge but I will be able to make sense of the things I am learning.
- Lord, if there is something that I need to know that I am not aware of, I pray that you guide me into it. Your word says the Holy Spirit will guide me into all truths. I ask that the Spirit guide me into relevant coursework that I might have ignored or missed out of.
Prayer for Success in Exams
When you are about to write an exam, it is important to prepare adequately for your assessment. One of the ways to ensure that you are fully ready to write your exams is to pray, handing over the papers you will write and everything that follows into the hands of God.
Here are some prayers to say for success in exams:
- Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that this exam will be the best I have written so far. I ask that by your mercies everything about this exam turns into a testimony for me.
- Lord, I pray for your favor. That favor that makes the unqualified qualified. May I find such favor in the sight of my lecturers and examiners, in the name of Jesus.
- Father, please let me know where to read for this exam. The course materials are too bulky and there are parts that might not be relevant. So, Lord, show me your mercy and reveal the areas I should consider in preparing for this exam.
- Father, give me the strength to see through this exam period. I will not break down due to stress, sickness, or being overwhelmed. I am empowered by your Spirit and He quickens my body.
- Father, I ask for wisdom to be able to answer the exam questions wisely and appropriately. I ask for an understanding to know what the examiner wants and how to answer.
Prayer for Children in School
For kids who are in school, here is a powerful prayer for children in school:
Father, I pray for my child and ask that you make him/her of quick understanding. Make my child to understand whatever they are taught and help them to apply the things they learn with wisdom. I pray that they prove to be for signs and wonders. I pray they bring you honor and praise in their conduct and wisdom. Every difficult situation they face will be surmounted by your strength. Lord, give them the grace to choose their friends wisely and only bring people that will help them become better around them. Thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus, we have prayed. Amen.
Final Thoughts
You should take out time to pray these prayers. I trust that God is going to help our children become better and achieve educational success in the name of Jesus.
