Prayer Request
I'm taking a big exam that'll dictate the rest of my life. I have failed this exam before and I felt so burnt out after. The worst case scenario is that my mom was just as sad as me. She's a single mom and has invested her money in me (which is a lot since she works a minimum wage job since we've arrived to the us). As I write this I've never felt heavier in my heart. I talk to God abt this and Ik he has my back but i have to do well on my end as well. I'm the oldest immigrant daughter & 1st gen college student. On top of studies I have responsibilities and it doesn't help that I've had to figure out every single step of the way on my own (literally). I have no one to really complain to I've always been a bit of a loner and lately my anxiety has been so high it keeps me up at night no matter how exhausted I am. I'm afraid of disappointing myself and my family. Gods allowing me to stay afloat and I don't want my faith to falter because that's not what this is..I've made it this far on my own, it's just the fact that it's been hard to retain and recall info that I'm afraid I'm not even learning at this stage. Pray for me.

Relax and rely on God do your studies well God knows your desire and your struggles Jehovah God will never leave you nor forsake you in Jesus name. Go and dominate the exam and come out in flying colours in Jesus Christ name. It is well with your brain and your soul you shall reap what you have sow for years in Jesus name and your mother will eat the fruit of her labour over you in Jesus name. Amen.
It sounds like you've done all you can to prepare. Now let go and 'really' lay it in God's Hands. Because you failed the test once before and know many questions, you likely unconsciously studied the key components. You have to put this in God's Hands because stressing yourself out will only put up a wall in your mind and keep you from thinking straight. When you go to bed tonight, lay it in the Lord's Hands and get a good night's sleep. Tell yourself that you may as well sleep because laying awake won't help anyway! Before you leave in the morning, or if you have time shortly before taking the test, scan over your notes and textbooks, etc. Just scan through them--don't try to read anything carefully. A quick scan should be sufficient to retain a bit more information. You will be fine. Also, before you go to bed, ask yourself what is the worst thing that can happen? This often helps us relax. For example, what would happen if you fail it again? You won't die or be killed. Could you possibly take it a third time? Can you still get a decent job even if you don't pass? Maybe the Lord is leading you to do something else with your education? I'm thinking of a neighbor of mine who went to seminary. His parents (especially his mother) REALLY wanted him to become a priest. Her whole life revolved around this. However, for some reason, he didn't become a priest (he went to seminary out of state so no one really knows what happened). However, he went on to manage the county's disabled home for many years. I believe that my neighbor was led by God to serve Him--He just wanted my neighbor to serve Him in a different way other than in the priesthood. Put this test in the Lord's Hands and He WILL lead you. But please know that your entire future really doesn't depend on ONE test even though it may seem like it at the moment. The Lord hears and He will lead you in the direction that He wants you to go. Good luck. Please keep us posted.
U got this. Failure is oppertunity to become better and to improve. I’m sure you will find your path with God and you will be happy because it’s God’s way. I’m praying for you and sending hugs and prayers. God love us all, in our almighty Father’s name
Amen🙏🏻
