Hello everyone,
Well I’ve got a maths exam tomorrow and this period of exams are going to determine whether or not I go to university, so they are kinda important! I’ve alredy had a series of failures with exams which lead to a beat down of faith. I’m so desperate to get into university I want to make myself proud and have something to say “Yup I did something right, it didn’t go well at first but God saw me through.”
Someone I know once asked me “aren’t you tired of seeing other people getting testimonies and you’re still there with nothing?” now he didn’t say that to mean everyone else should stop getting testimonies lol! But I don’t really have anything to say “Yup God helped me with that etc.” I want something of my own, I’m sick of failing it REALLY bugs me, but anyway I’m just in need of a little prayer.
I hope exams go well for anyone else who is taking them at this time
Thanks :D
Hi PollyLove,
I pray God grant you favor. This has happened to me MANY times, where I’d mess up and think I was going to fail my classes, tests, etc but EVERY time, God has got me through. I would worry and fret a LOT. Keep trying to rest in God’s promises, that God will make a was, and that he is able. Do what you can in studying and the rest of the time, keep asking God to help you and grant you favor.
The first commandment is to put God first and have no other “gods” before Him. I read testimony that people put things & other people before Him when they are seeking Him. As one with faith, I know there is but One living God so there is nothing that can become an idol to worship if there is only Him. Everything that is good for us comes when He is placed in our earthly lives where He should be. He delights, as scripture says, in taking care of us so that not one hair on our head perishes. I will pray that you do well in your endeavor.
Charity
Pray and study. Ask God to guide you. Submit yourself fully unto Him.
Let His will be done.
Bless you dear. Praying for your exam.
with god ALL things are possible
Be encouraged that regardless what your results are that God can still use them to reach out to other people.
I remember a few weeks ago I had an English task – a massive one that contributed significantly to my final mark. I prayed heaps about this – I went to the teacher for one on one help & put my results in his hands.
The task – well I honestly didn’t know what my marks were when I finished. But when we got them back they were exactly the same as my practice task. I was massively disappointed because I felt like God hadn’t answered my prayer – not helped by my friends doing brilliantly. It seemed like God had answered theirs but not mine.
So I was really upset all day. I had a friend who isn’t as strong christian as the others and she got a very similar mark to me; so we sympathised together. And by the end of the day; because of our marks & me being upset ect. I got to witness to her a bit – which of course is very exciting.
The two events were only mildly linked – they started off the conversation which quickly led to bigger and greater things – however they were linked.
So as a summary – regardless of your mark that you receive – have confidence that God WILL use you if you let him.
And even if you don’t get the marks you were aiming for, just be encouraged that the plan God has for you is individually planned for you. Even if you may not be able to see how it will work out now – it will be clear one day. And when you see it – it’s almost terrifying! :)
