One of the most
stressful things teenagers face is examinations. Whether it's a regular test in class to the
SAT or ACT, students are not immune to the anxiety-inducing exams. While there is probably no prayer that can get you an A on an exam you don't prepare for, and probably no prayer that can change that "B" answer to an "A" answer, you can rely on God to
help you study better and relax more when taking a test.
Saying a prayer at exam time can help you focus better on what you have learned so that it comes out by making smarter choices on your exams.
