Philippians 4:13

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 

I use this verse when I start telling myself I can't do it or I'm not good enough. For example, it was Friday March 13 and we had a test in first period. Of course, it was Friday the 13 and I was scared I was going to have a bad day. My teacher came in late as usually and we were all trying to cram a little bit more "knowledge" into our minds. Then she came in and started passing out the test. The only thing that was going through my mind was "I am going to fail." The teacher passed me my test and I freaked out. I just stared at the paper for few minutes. I knew I had studied for a long time last night, so it shouldn't have been a problem. Here's the deal, sometimes when I have a big test, I sometimes forget the information right before I get my test. That's because I'm nervous I'm going to fail. I don't know why, it just happens. 

So, anyway, I have my test and I start going through it to find the stuff that I know how to do. Once I did those problems, I went back to the ones that I didn't know. I started thinking and I remembered this verse. I didn't have enough confidence in myself to do it. I started praying to God, asking Him to help me remember what I studied. It was 8:50 when I started remembering things like how to graph a formula and how to solve the quadratic formula. Soon enough, I was almost done with my test. Then...the bell rang. So, I didn't get to finish my test but, I learned that you always have to believe in God and yourself. God will always help you. All you have to do is ask. Oh and, don't forget to say thank you.
