Ecclessiastics 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
I remember my student days, I had a conversation with some of my classmates and something struck my mind during the course of our conversation. One of the most brilliant students in my class a Christian who everyone respected to be a very devoted one. He was telling a lady in my class that he does not pray before sitting for any examination.

Whereas, he’s one of the best scholars in the entire department. During the conversation, the other protested that it is important to pray before writing an examination, he turned to me and ask if I also pray before writing examination. I told him point-blank that of cause I pray before writing examination. Then he made a compelling statement that struck my mind, while his statements may seem like pride, he made some apt points that were true. He said God has given unto us the grace to read and understand, and many times we dont need to pray for it, it is a gift of nature to mankind.
However, how we use our brain is dependent on us, God is not responsible for it. He went further to say that most Christians fail examination because they pray so hard and yet they refuse to read in the same proportion that they have prayed. Now, in this article, we are not encouraging students to pray without reading. Remember that the scripture says to study to show yourself approved.
Meanwhile, it is also important to pray before and after writing examination for God mercy and favor to accompany our script, when the favor of God follows your script, it will find favor in the sight of the examiner. As much as you have prepared well by studying hard, it is also important that you pray hard too. The simple gimmick is praying as if you have never read and read as if you have not prayed.
Therefore, after reading and you need to settle things in the realm of the spirit and you will need to speak to God. We have compiled a list of prayer points to say to prepare for an examination. I encourage you to engage this prayers by faith, knowing that it is not by power, nor by might, but by the spirit of the Lord. You shall succeed in your exams in Jesus Christ Name.
