Bar Exam Anxiety

Dear Great God, giver of the Law with grace, this is more important than anything else I could be doing now.  Not Tue's bar exam, as important as that is, but Tue's heart and the ongoing battle for it.  Tue has said, probably foolishly, that it would be a miracle if he passed the exam on the first try and that he would believe in You if he did.  

I don't pretend to know Your will, dear Lord, for his life--but I hope that this challenge is one You will take seriously.  You know that his heart is toward the poor and underprivileged, as Your heart is; You know that he has the most loving heart of almost anyone I know; You know that he is not one to be casual about his beliefs, commitments, and relationships.  Please don't consider me presumptuous about asking for this great favor.  It really is not just for Tue's benefit, but for Yours as well--in fact, for Your benefit even more!

Would You also give him rest tonight?  Please help him to sleep deeply and refreshingly.    May he go into the exam with confidence not only in himself but in You, though he may not know You well yet.  May he pass this exam on the first try, giving You glory.  May You use this experience to knock on his door, reminding him of the "promise" he made.  In Jesus's name, Who came to fulfill all the law~~Amen.
