Asking God for help—with math

For many years, I’d really struggled with my math classes. I’d had some success, but it had taken a lot of work. Tests were the worst. I was always anxious about them, even when I was confident that I knew the material. 

But one of my first tests in my precalculus class had me more than anxious; I was really scared. No matter how much I studied, I still felt unprepared. 

During the test, I tried to calm down, but I was second-guessing every answer. I felt stupid and incapable, just like I had in my past math classes. I had no idea what to do and felt I might cry.
