Heavenly Father & Blessed Mother Mary, 
I humbly ask for your prayers as I prepare in the coming days for my Mental Health Nurse Practitioner exam, a calling to serve and care for those struggling with mental health.
These past months have required deep sacrifice, long hours, and moments of exhaustion. At times, I have felt overwhelmed, distracted, and mentally stretched, yet I continue to show up with faith.
I am learning not to ask God to remove the storm, but to teach me how to walk through it. Just as Peter walked on the water while the storm remained, I ask for the grace to keep my eyes fixed on God and continue forward, even when I feel uncertain. Teach me what I can only learn here.
Please pray that my mind be calm, clear, and focused. That what I have studied returns to me when I need it. That I may think wisely, choose correctly, and move forward with peace and confidence.
Jesus and Mary, guide my thoughts and decisions. I ask that my loved ones in heaven walk with me, stand beside me, and remind me that I am not alone. I am finishing this chapter with them, not without them. This is my army of light surrounding me.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything.
Jesus, I trust in You. You take care of it.
I will not be afraid. I place everything in Your hands and choose to rest in Your care, letting go of my need to control or understand. You take care of all things.
I close the eyes of my soul and trust that You are already at work. I will bless Your name by humbling myself and serving those in need, as I have promised.
I pray not only to pass, but to step into this calling with compassion, purpose, and integrity to help others.
Thank you for praying for me. I will carry your intentions in my heart and faithfully pay it forward.
If you feel led, I would be grateful for any uplifting or encouraging words. They would truly mean so much to me and bring comfort and peace to my heart during this time. 
Amen.
