Exam Blues !!

Dearest Level 1 Candidates, ................especially those of you sitting for you PMR shortly.......getting nervous about the exam? Have faith la.....you are really blessed, you know.........coz besides your parents, family and friends praying for you, your facilitators are also praying for you, myself included of course, and in fact the whole Parish especially this weekend. I was really overjoyed to see many of you at Life Mass today and even going up in front for blessing.....Also happy to see the facilitators there as well......indeed I am sure our Lord will not forsake you.

Just to share my testimony about the power of prayer and intercessions when I was sitting for my SPM once upon a time.....(BTW you should get a copy of Word Among Us this month and read about intercessions)....the weekend before my SPM Bahasa Malaysia paper was my cousin's First Holy Communion in Penang. My family travelled all the way to Penang (and if I recall we did not have the North South Highway, back then) for the ocassion. On Sunday afternoon, before we left Penang, one of my uncle's uncle was told about me having taking the exam the next day. He then laid his hand on my head and prayed for me. I did not know anything about laying of hands or even had any idea about intercessions at that time. But what happened in the end was, I passed the Bahasa Malaysia paper with an average credit. This is one incident that I remember even today - the fact that someone prayed for me and the Lord was with me througout the exam and even after.

Don't forget to pray before leaving your house for the exam. And when you are trying to pray and there are disturbances, ask our Lord to remove the distractions. When, during the exam you are not able to answer / understand the questions, stop pray a while and then, continue.

Anyway.....all the best for the exams and know that we would lift you in prayer.

Amen
