Father! Lord our God, King of the Universe, Omniscient One, Giver of the Law, please, PLEASE, pour out Your Spirit on my son-in-law during this bar exam and for Your purposes in and through him. My most fervent prayer for Tue is a saving, loving relationship with You--but I will admit that another pretty fervent prayer for him is a passing grade on this exam. Ideally, the latter could lead to the former. (I would not dare tell You how to do this, though.)
Lord God, would You touch Tue's heart and mind with peace and clarity right now? With his next breath, give him an insight, a correction, a realization of Your presence and involvement with him. Let him recognize not only his own preparation and competence but also, and most importantly, You as the Source of the Law and all wisdom. If he is anxious, calm him. If he is confused, clear his mind. If he is forgetful, remind him. If he needs words, bring the right ones to him. If he is tired, refresh him. May he be filled with joy in seeing how You have smiled at him and provided him with everything he needs to pass this exam. You know--I know You know--his heart leans hard toward justice and mercy. PLEASE bless that wonderful heart with a passing grade. It would not be for him only, or even for him and Julie (my daughter, with a similar heart), but also for You and Your Kingdom. In Jesus's name and Spirit, Amen.
