Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:6-7

Take hope that God wants you to have abundant life. This means good exam results, financial provision and a mind of peace. He prospers you so that the world can see that He is God and He is the God who provides. He is the king of our lives an He will take care of us well!

Cast all your anxiety on him (Jesus) because he cares for you. -1 Peter 5:7

Jesus wants us to confess our hurts, struggles and pains to Him. We gotta say, 'Lord, I'm broken in this area. I cast it to You and stop trying to overcome it on my own. I'll obey Your words and Your wisdom to solve this issue'

'And most importantly, I rest in You, my Lord. You know more than me. You know how to handle my situation better than I can. I rely on You. I rest in You.'

You (God) will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. -Isaiah 26:3

The word of God tells us that when we fix our eyes on Jesus, He will keep us in perfect peace.

Keep trusting in Jesus for your breakthrough! In your Prelims and O's/A's, trust Jesus that He will answer your prayer exceedingly, abundantly above all that you can ask or think! By trusting Jesus, we receive His peace.

“Come to me (Jesus), all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” -Matthew 11:28-30

Indeed, the Christian walk is not easy. There are many believers who have died for the faith, like James, who was killed with the sword (Acts 12:2). However, many people forget to emphasize that we can overcome these troubles by the power of Christ. HIS burden for us is easy. HIS yoke is light.

Rest in Jesus for your security and your work. Work, but work not in your stress but work in Jesus' rest.

I am (Jesus) the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. -John 15:5

Have you wonder why Jesus typifies Himself as the vine and His blood as the cup of wine (1 Corinthians 11:25)? The vine produces grapes, and grapes when crushed, beaten and completely battered produce wine.

Jesus is the vine crushed, bruised and pierced so that His blood (wine) flowed down His being. His blood is THE atonement for our sins. That's why Jesus, when He instituted the Lord's Supper, called His blood the wine: He wants us to remember how He died on our behalf.

Jesus said to him (Thomas), “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. -John 14:6

Jesus is not JUST one way, one truth or one life. Jesus is THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE.

Only in Jesus do we know our true purpose in life (Way), instead of letting other older people tell us their way for us. Only in Jesus do we know what is truly beneficial to us (Truth), instead of squandering in the world's deluges. Only in Jesus do we have abundant life (LIFE), a life of victory, free from sin and defeat and full of Christ's victory!

So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ” -Luke 10:27

These two commandments are the sum total of God's law (God's measurement for man's righteousness). Here's my question: can we as humans love God with all our hearts, with all our souls, with all our strengths, and with all our minds, God's first commandment?

God knows we can't fulfill it. So what He did is, in essence, saying, "I know you cannot love Me with all that you've got. Watch Me; I'm going to love you with all My heart, with all My soul, with all My mind and all My strength," and gave His life for us at the cross! By knowing this then we can love back, because Christ loves us and Christ loves God through us.
