Yesterday was the last day of the school year for my boys. The youngest had an eighth grade promotion ceremony and took home several awards. That boy has always done really well in school just like his oldest brother who graduated from college with a bachelors degree in economics a few weeks ago.
The middle child has a bit more trouble, especially with math. He has never done well in math or on tests which is why when I got the call from his math teacher over the weekend telling me Nick had to pass the semester exam to pass the class for the year, my heart fell. I didn't see how he was possibly going to manage that. So I put his oldest brother to work helping him study and even sent him to his teacher's house, who also happens to be the mother of one of his best friends, for some extra tutoring.
Then I prayed - a lot! I asked God to help him do well enough to pass that test. No, it isn't a big life altering event that was at stake, but I have learned that God listens to all of our needs, even the smallest.
The test was Wednesday morning. I prayed again that morning, "Lord please help him know the answers and do well." Not only did he do well, he made a 100 on that test! Thank you Jesus! I am pretty sure he has never made a 100 on a math test. Not only did the Lord make sure he passed the test but he blew it away! Now, if only I had thought to pray about his Biology exam!
"And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." Matthew 21:22
