Desire to help others

I have been going to school for the past 4 years to try and become a mental health counsellor. The only thing preventing me from graduating with my Master's degree is one paper. I have revised it, but it still is not right. Asking for prayers that God will make me understand what is required & to give me the words to complete the paper. I really want to help people's suffering. I am too embarrassed to ask family & friends to pray for me because I don't want them to know I am a failure.

Is the Paper Bible based? I would try to work Bible principles into the paper in such a way that the secular world can not easily see them. Aren't we supposed to be wise as serpents but as harmless as doves?

Mt:10:16: Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Mt:6:16: Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

RE: Desire to help others

You are studying to help others emotionally and with their unhealthy thought processes and yet are believing the lie that you are a failure. Somehow that doesn't seem healthy.

My first prayer is that just because you are having some issues with your homework that you won't allow the devil to use that to convince you that you are a failure.

My second prayer is that God will give you wisdom. Wisdom always hitches a ride with understanding. Sometimes in order for us to fully understand stuff, God allows us to walk through the fire. I pray that the Lord will give you the knowledge before He gives you the words so that when it is time for Him to use you in the mental health field, you will be as effective as He needs you to be. This failure thought has got to go. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen. I also pray that God will show you the ways that He is already using you in people's lives so that you can gain a little encouragement. Sounds like you need some. Hang in there and keep pressing on. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

Dear One, you are NOT a failure. Please don't feel that way. We all need some extra help from The Lord at all times. I pray that He blesses you with the right words and that you do amazingly well on this test, better then we could have prayed for, and thank He blesses you with seeing yourself the way He sees you, as priceless and His Gift, not a failure. I pray this for us all in Jesus Name, Lord we pray. Amen. It is done. Please let us know how you did! I know you will do great!!!!!
