This was something I had never experienced. It took me almost an hour, but that was nothing compared to what I had been going through. The word of God to me that day, brought me a sense of relief that ended all the worries I had at that time. A few weeks passed, the exams results came out and I had an ‘A’. The word of God is powerful; in our
