Creator God,
In your wisdom you made everything that exists;
The natural world declares your glory.
Thank you that in today’s exam I have an opportunity to see that glory afresh.
Help me work with all my heart, as working for you.
Strengthen me and help me to recall everything I’ve learned:
May remembering your works move me to praise you.
Your will be done in the result of this exam.
You work all things for my good, so help me to trust you whether it goes well or poorly,
And to process the outcome in a way that reflects Christ’s humility and grace.
Amen.
