Fellow christians, forgive my selfishness...

[ThePanda]

But I need a prayer to help at school. Whenever there is an exam or a test, I want the halp of the Lord.
I feel selfish because there are so many people who need His help more than I do.

I'm not asking you to pray for me. I want a prayer which I can say myself whenever I need it. I'm not good at praying, so I need a more intelligent christian to compose one.

Bless you and thank you!

Jesus said that he would never leave, neither forsake us.


Underneath and round about us are His arms...........Be blessed in Jesus Name.......

Trust Him and fear not, for fear is not of God. He has promised to bless all who look to Him......and no one can change it. This is His word to us......Be encouraged ... for He is with You

I can tell you from personal experience that praying for God's help before a test is not selfish. If you've studied, He'll do His part and help you to recall info you need. Don't worry about feeling selfish. If asking for God's help was selfish, we'd all be guilty. Asking for His help is acknowledging that we are powerless to do anything apart from Him. Even on a test.

And remember to not rely on how you feel, but to rely on His Word and to rely on who God is.

Thank you for the inspiring words, my brothers.:wink:

Just pray for the words to say and if they don't come that's okay. God already knows what's in your heart. Even a simple, 'God please help me on this exam/test today." is all you need to say. It doesn't have to be fancy and long. Stay encouraged! There is no request too big or too small for him. God bless you!

To strive to do well is not sin. If you were trying to compete with someone in an ungodly way or trying to crush someone else's spirit, it would be different.

Getting good grades gives you confidence and you learn more in the process. This will help you when you get a career in the area you are working toward. You will be able to look back and know that you did your very best and learned to your full potential. Many college and high school students cheat now, according to statistics.

You do well to study and ask God's blessing over your mind Hope you do well on your next test. Remember, your whole picture of yourself (and how GOD views you) does not fall solely within your class grades, but putting it into perspective, it is one of the things important to you. Other priorities are in place in your life, too.

God bless!!!
