greeting everyone!!!!!

i wanted to ask you for some suggestions (remember i am a baby-Christian). as i shared the other day i have gone through a lot this past year: a struggle with infertility (never did get pregnant), my husband's loss of a good job, separation from my husband, almost divorcing, extreme financial difficulties, illness in my family, the loss of my beloved 17 year old dog last week, etc., etc. i have not been able to study for the exam i have on Monday (National Board -bored- Exam). the exam is 4 hours, very difficult and very expensive. i know that i should have studied, but i just could not. i want to believe that i should not trust in my own understanding. i mean, i went to school for 8 years, the stuff has to be "in there", i just have to retrieve it. nonetheless, they recommend you study for this exam for about 4-6 months. i only have this weekend (exam is on Monday). sigh! i can't even do that. i keep feeling tired, distracted, sleepy, with a headache, etc. i feel the enemy is really trying to get in the way b/c he knows that passing this exam would mean a better job, would help my husband return home quicker (we are reuniting to give our marriage another chance for where he is he has a job), would help us get out of the bondage of great credit card debt (my husband was unable to find a job for about 6 months), etc.

what do i do at this point????? is it unrealistic for me to think i can pass this exam without having studied? how can i feel clear headed, focused and motivated to take advantage of these last 3 days (i do not work today, saturday or sunday so i have all weeekend to study for Monday)? i feel i can really make a difference for my family if i pass this exam, but i feel i don't deserve it b/c i have let everything else get in the way of my studies!!!! i could have despite all that happened, i just felt too depressed, angry, lonely or distracted to study. what do i do now? what would Jesus do? well, he probably would have studied! any advice????

thank you so much!!!! God bless you!!!!!!!!

jesus help her with this situation to study and remember all that she needs to remember. Give her energy to be wakeful, and concentration to focus. It used to help me to do quick outlines on chapters. Jesus if there is a way for her to take this test at a later date make that possible and if not help her do what need to be done. Bless her marriage and her husband. Give him favor in the work place.

Jesus, please be present this weekend with your child, bring peace and help her to study. Let her review what she needs to know, refresh her memory and help her to retrieve what she has learned for the exam. Help her to get a good nights sleep before the exam and awake refreshed and confident. Don't allow any test anxiety, while she's taking the test. Thank You Jesus.

dear all:

thank you soooooooooooooooo much for your prayers, advice and good wishes. i had a "faith refresher course" last night thanks to some of the members of this great site. i am listening to: "i can only imagine", thank you all (you know who you are :-) i CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Linda thanks for the suggestion but the job hubby has now is not really something he can do long term (it was through a temp agency). also, we have a lot of family support here for when we have or adopt our baby (wink, wink!). again, thank you so much and GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!
