This is a little testimony from my friend in Maryland, USA----Nnamdi Chimaroke
I don't usually write this long but this is definitely worth your time. About two weeks ago we started learning about Modern Physics and we started with what I would say is the most abstract and difficult stuff I've ever come across. That was Einstein's Relativity. Honestly, I had never been so confused in class before. Everything I had known so far was proved wrong. For example, this fundamental law of science that matter can neither be created nor destroyed was proven wrong. Matter could actually be created as well as destroyed. Also, time is not what we think it is. This is just a tip of the iceberg. It was time for my second exam of the semester which included this Relativity stuff, and I was terrified to the marrow. I didn't do so well in the first exam which made it worse. I really had to make a statement this time. I did the best I could to ready myself. It was the D day.
I got my paper and said "Lord please help me in this exam" (little Prayer but a very powerful act of submission), and started to write. I must state, honestly, that I understood Relativity in the exam hall. The very first problem which is conceptual and one of the kind that proved the most difficult for me to grasp clicked the moment I read through it. I answered it with a perfect explanation. Two days later which was today the Professor handed us back our papers and I was amazed to see 100%. My very first 100% in an exam.
So how did I know that it was my little Prayer that saw me through. Here, look at this, I had a second exam that very day in Thermodynamics. Wasn't a 'too-easy' course though but I was really prepared. I walked in very confident in myself that I forgot to say my little prayer. For the first 10 minutes I was completely lost. I didn't know where to start from. I was just reading, again and again through the questions. Finally, I started with one of the questions, finished it and then realized that I hadn't said my little prayer. I said my little prayer and proceeded to the rest of the questions. When I finished the last question and was thinking through I realized that I had made a mistake in the first question. I went back erased it and started all over. I was done the moment my time was up. What better proof that PRAYER, no matter how little, WORKS.
