What will I do if it is just 40days before the board exam (Updated).pdf

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” -Philippians 4:13

What will I do if it is just 40days before the board exam? Take the Board Exam with Security in God's Promises 19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? 20 I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it. - Numbers 23:19-20 Before the Big Day comes, there are a lot of things that we need to look back. Days when you struggle to even open a book just to study, moments where you chose to eat rather than to solve math problems or fell asleep while trying to memorize a formula. I know most of you has been very tired because of the pressure and a lot of thinking that you've had. There are always questions of whether will I pass or not? Will I still fight or accept that the board exam is sweeter the second time around? I just wonder what has been our motivation that either drove us to move forward or to step back. As the days are numbered and the board exam is coming, I just want to make you reminded that we are not fighting the battle alone. The security in God's promises about the board exam should be the fuel for us to survive. With the new examiners, and competition being so tight, more materials to study and lack of time to solve problems and memorize formulas, how can we really achieve security in God's promises?

§ The more you have to do, the more you need to pray. The less time you think you have, the more time you need to spend with God. Hybels says if you’ll first take time to pray, you’ll actually have more time for everything else – that it’s not a matter of time, but a matter of priorities and a matter of trust: When you put God first and rely upon the strength of God’s grace to get things done, you become more effective and more efficient. Most importantly, you realize it’s not all up to you – God is up ahead, clearing the path and guiding the way. §

Put all your worries to God. For God knows better than you do.

§

Do your task and let God do the finishing.

§

Never think that it is all about you.

Never forget that God has prepared His promises for you before you were born. For every time that we think about our incapabilities and fears and fatigue, God has His words to always boost us until we reach the end. "OUR THINKING vs. GOD'S PROMISES"

YOU: "It's impossible" GOD: All things are possible (Luke18:27)

We just need to go on. Take the board exam through faith. For without God, all these things will be worthless. Cmon Guys!!! You can do this!

Faith Without Action is Dead You can prepare yourself to succeed in your studies. Try to develop and appreciate the following habits: § Take responsibility for yourself Recognize that in order to succeed you need to make decisions about your priorities, your time, and your resources § Center yourself around your values and principles Don't let friends and acquaintances dictate what you consider important § Put first things first Follow up on the priorities you have set for yourself, and don't let others, or other interests, distract you from your goals § Discover your key productivity periods and places Morning, afternoon, or evening? Find spaces where you can be the most focused and productive. Prioritize these for your most difficult study challenges § Look for better solutions to problems For example, if you don't understand the course material, don't just re-read it. Try something else! Consult with the professor, a tutor, an academic advisor, a classmate, a study group, or your school's study skills center § Look to continually challenge yourself Partially adapted from the audio cassette by Steven Covey,
