For a Christian who loves the Heavenly Father and strives to live not only a physical, but also a spiritual life, it is natural to turn to Him in any circumstances. In this section we offer only a few short prayers, but you can and should pray more often, even constantly.
Who should I pray before the exam? Any prayer is ultimately addressed to God, because... saints are only intercessors for us before Him.
Do not approach prayer mechanically: it is not the text that helps, but the Creator of the universe. Remember that any prayer must be supported by the efforts of the person himself: we ask God to help us demonstrate our knowledge, and not deceive the teacher.
In our prayers, we ask God to strengthen our memory, remind us of what we have learned, and help us not make mistakes when answering. Prayer is a matter of love and trust in God. Therefore, after receiving what you asked, you should thank God, and if you did not succeed, then do not despair, but again and again ask Him for help. For more information, see the article on prayer.
Finally, in a relationship with Heavenly Father, it is not enough to just ask and thank sometimes. Each of us is called to change our lives in such a way as to always be with God - now and in eternity. See Where to start.
Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filthiness, and save us, Good, our souls.
