Faith to keep trying
Christians believe in having faith in God.
Can faith really be the solution to all our difficulties and problems especially for students in their studies?
Listen to the nice song below and get inspired about what faith can do.
In this short article, I would like to share about my thoughts about faith for students in their studies.
Use faith as an excuse
As teachers, we know many students who are on their mobile phones or computers even late at night.
They may be playing online games during their free time without revising what they have learnt.
When examinations come, they become extremely holy and pray to God for a miracle for their studies.
As a Christian, I do believe nothing is impossible for God but it does not make sense for a supernatural intervention by God to fill their brains suddenly with all the knowledge that they need for examinations.
I do believe that these children may have some thoughts of the need to study while they are playing their online games but they may just ignore it as they are having too much fun.
God can remind our students of things they need to do through their parents in a very natural way.
Our students would usually ignored them as they really hate their parents nagging at them.
Faith in God for studies
I personally believe that students, who pray to God for their studies, may get inspired to study a certain part of their books more or understand what they need to know faster when they are studying.
God can help in many ways to lead and guide students to study more effectively.
Someone may also come naturally to help and guide these students.
All these may be considered by some students as being lucky but it can be also God who has helped them in ways that look natural.
With faith, our focus level may also increase and our memorisation of important facts may retain more effectively since there is confidence that can affect them psychologically.
The mindset that they can do it because they have prayed and they believe God can help them.
Faith to raise the grades
It is true that there were many successful businessmen who did not start out successful in the beginning.
It was only after many failures that they finally experienced success.
Faith can give the motivation for a student who have not been doing well in his studies to keep trying.
The faith to continue to work hard even when the results do not show can be future ingredients for great successes.
I have often told my students not to give up even the last moment. This is a great fighting spirit that we can nurture in them.
With the mental mindset of facing present failures as not failures but learning experience to help them in future successes.
Success can take a short time or years to reach. It can come sooner or later when one does not give up easily.
This attitude can bring other successes for our students in their future as adults.
In conclusion
When a man prays to get on a plane on time but later misses it.
He may be angry when his prayer is not answered.
When the plane crashes into the ocean, he may start to thank God for the protection and delay.
Prayers that are not answered can be due to the wrong season or timing. There can also be due to our own readiness.
Christian students must know that there can be many ways God can help them in their studies but their ways may not be God’s ways.
They must just start to pick up those books after their prayers and let God do the rest according to what is best for them.
Very often, it may look very natural for their prayers being answered.
Prayers should never be used as excuses for laziness.

Thank you for enlightening, very helpful because it added to my confidence. God will also give us strength in facing every problem and there are no problems that exceed our abilities. Therefore, when faced with something, don't worry, stay strong with God. Because only strong people will get His help. In Him there is a way out, hope and certainty. Our part is praying, trying and staying confident in God's power.
Greetings to your success @fun2learn
