Experience of Christ: Board Exams

This year and this month, my son and daughter appeared for their tenth and twelveth CBSE board exams. I had already fellowshipped with both of them a couple of times concerning practical studies, preparing well in time, and above all, trusting in the Lord and praying for His blessing. Yes, to pray for blessing in addition to fulfilling all the human responsibilities. 

By the Lord’s mercy, they both have been studying well. My encouragement for them was and is, to experience the Lord in their board exams. To this extent, I even posted in the church and family WhatsApp group for prayer.

Prayer for CBSE Board Exams

Remember in your prayers for our young brother and sister writing their board exams from 17 Feb 2026

That they may experience the Lord as their wisdom, understanding, knowledge, intelligence, and peace.

That they reap the fruit of their labor in their studies through this exam and enjoy the Lord as their grace and receive His blessing.

As requested and prayed for, the Lord indeed blessed them in all the papers they have written so far. Especially with my son, with his first paper on Maths, I was so thankful to the Lord for helping him. Since then, deep within, I had the full assurance that they both will do well in their exams and will come out with flying colors.

More often, I used to go out with my son in the night these days, praying together holding hands. We both enjoyed our father-son prayer time. For this purpose, I also paused all my traveling until the time their exams will be completed.

Besides, tbe Lord also kept me very busy attending to the office, church, and household needs during this time. In fact, I have been experiencing being very busy, yet I have never missed my prayer time, Bible reading, corporate and family prayers, and still attended all the meetings of the church.

Yes, exam time for my chidren academically. Yes, exam time for me personally as I have been tested to handle all my responsibilities by trusting the Lord. In all these, I experience the Lord in a very deep, personal, intimate, affectionate, and sweet way. Though I could not eat on time and get enough rest due to work pressure, the Lord has been my Shepherd, moment by moment.

O what a wonderful way to experience Christ! I believe, my son and daughter also are experiencing Christ very deeply and richly these days. 

Even when the exams are over, and the works pressure reduced, still the experience and enjoyment of Christ must go on and on. Board exams and life exams are for us to experience Christ and gain Christ!
