Father, 
Be with me as I take this exam. 
Keep my mind alert and my memory sharp. 
Calm my nerves and help me concentrate. 
I know that you walk with me, 
guiding my path and inspiring my heart. 
I pray that I would feel you with me, 
and that your friendship would soften the pressure I feel. 
I pray that I would pass this exam and go on to new things with you. 
Thank you for your peace and your love in my life. 
Thank you for your kindness and care for me. 
Amen
