A prayer guide for use during examinations

About the book
The power of prayer in preparing for, and writing, examinations cannot be underestimated!
Many of us have forgotten the pressure and struggle that students experience as they prepare for, and write, their examinations. The good news is that God longs to hear our prayers for help. God is always quick to offer help, strength, and everything that we need in order to give a clear and accurate account of what we've learned. So whether you are at School, or University, God can help you to achieve your very best for God's honour and glory. This little book of prayers is intended to help students, who are preparing for and writing, their examinations. The prayers remind us that we are not alone - God is with us! The original prayers were masterfully written by Roger Prentice and Virginia Cookman, Chaplains of Acadia University, in Canada. I first came upon them in 2004 when I was preparing a group of 80 Seminary students at John Wesley College for their final examinations. They have brought comfort, hope, and encouragement to countless students over the years. The authors gave permission for the prayers to be amended and prepared for use in their current form.
My prayer is that they will be a blessing to you, or to whoever you give this little book to.

A great deal of my life is devoted to praying, thinking, reading, and writing. Some of what I write, say, and do, may be of use to you. There are many others who think deeper thoughts, write better books, say and do more profound things than I am capable of. But, perhaps something on this page will be of use to you.
