Even as we go through the exam periods, it is good to reflect upon just why are we studying so hard for. As Daniel mentioned during last Sunday's Masterlife session, we should not be too caught up in grades, and instead should just study hard and entrust the results to God. Of course, this is easier said than done; we all worry for our results. It is during such times that this particular verse has helped me:


"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7

Indeed, the peace of God is a wonderful thing to have during trying times such as exams. Something to note here is that we should present our requests to God with thanksgiving. It's hard to imagine going to God and say: "Thank you God for the exams.", but in essence that's what these verses are saying, that we should be thankful in all circumstances. It's part of the process of renewing our minds, something we just covered last week. So the next time you present your request(s) to God, let's do so with a thankful heart and also with faith, that God will carry us through.
