This lovely miracle is from a young woman I admire more and more with each passing day. She has a heart of gold and is changing the world on her mission.
Anyone can experience a
miracle. But sometimes, we have to qualify ourselves for a miracle.
When I was in high school, I took an ACT prep course so that I could do
well on that college entrance standardized exam. I wanted to do well on
the test so that I would get into my desired colleges and be able to
get scholarships.
So I took the prep course and steadily improved
my scores throughout it. The class finished on a Friday morning and the
real exam was that next Saturday morning. I went out with friends that
Friday night to have a good time before I would have to focus and take
the test. That night, I did not follow the youth standards that had
been set by my church and our prophet, and that I had committed to live
by. I didn't think anything of it that night, but the next morning, I
prayed for help on the exam...and I did horrible. I couldn't focus,
couldn't remember the strategies I had learned, ran out of time, and
gave up. I was so frustrated with myself for taking for granted the
power of God's miracles.
The next time I took the ACT a month
later, I had repented and resolved to not let the adversary lead my life
ever again. I had humbled myself before God as I should have done long
before. I studied my scriptures more diligently and prayed more
fervently the weeks leading up to the exam. I fasted that Sunday in
preparation for that exam. I went to bed early the night before. When
it came time to take the ACT, I said one last prayer and got to work.
And
God worked a miracle. I know that for a fact. I received a near
perfect overall score on the ACT, scoring 100% in some sections of the
test. I had never before done even close to as well as I did. As I
qualified myself for divine help, God granted me a miracle as I trusted
and had faith in Him.
This miracle God blessed me with allowed
me to attend my desired college with a 4-year full-tuition
scholarship...a blessing that continues to bring forth more good fruits
as my life continues.
There can be miracles when you believe in God.
