A PRAYER SEQUENCE FOR EXAMINATION

And lead me in the everlasting way. (Psalm 139:23-24)

For from it flow the springs of life. (Proverbs 4:23)

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.

And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
