If you’re tempted to cheat

Q: Cheating is so common in my school. How can I pray so I’m not tempted?

A: While I was in high school, my family moved from our home in England to another country for a year. This meant a change to what I was learning in school, and I found myself falling way behind as I didn’t have the same academic background as my new schoolmates.

I worked so hard to get my grades up, but as exams got closer, I found that I was barely passing most classes. Exhausted, I knew something had to change. I began to pray.
