On results day for so many young people across the UK, and following what came out of our prayer time at the start of exam season, and our prayer time for them this morning, we wanted to share this prayer so we can all pray with and for them about what matters most:
A prayer for those getting exam results
For all those asking:
“are my grades enough?”
Or even “am I enough?”
Father, let nothing drown out your truth:
“You are loved just as you are;
you are worth so much more
than the sum of your marks,
achievements or ambitions.”
And for all those celebrating
the satisfaction of reaching or exceeding
the goals they – or others around them – set,
Father, let them still hear your truth:
“You are loved for who you are;
you are worth so much more
than the sum of your marks,
achievements or ambitions.”
And for all those who feel
their grades define their future
or determine their path,
Father, help them to see
that it is your love that defines them
and determines their future
and that you are for them, and with them
and ahead of them with hope.
