Beat exam stress

How are you preparing for finals?

I wish I’d had Denny Veidelis’s piece to read when I was studying for those dreaded end-of-semester exams in high school. Maybe then I wouldn’t have been quite so stressed out. Thankfully, I did know enough to pray—to turn to God for help and to expect to feel God’s help in a way that made a difference. And each semester, as I prayed, things got easier.

It wasn’t until I got to college, though, that a big shift took place that changed my perspective entirely. Here’s the short version of what happened.
