Today I want to give credit to where ALL credit is due, my God has blessed me in giving me wisdom in regards to the IRS certification test(a test that EVERY tax preparer who isn't an attorney, CPA, or Enrolled Agent must take and pass in order to continue preparing incomes taxes.) It is a long(2 1/2 hr.) comprehensive test that I have been studying and preparing for for several months. I have really been struggling with retaining the information I read and was just getting exasperated with the seemingly overwhelming amount of 'stuff' that was being covered on the test. Of course Satan saw this as another opportunity to attack with the anxiety and physical/mental oppression that I've have battled for the last 10 months, off and on. I KNEW the only way I was going to pass the test(both of them,lol) was to look to Jesus for wisdom and peace.
I claimed, along with many other scriptures, Phil. 4:6-8 & 13 and reminding myself daily of His promise of giving me "the peace of God that passeth all understanding"...and being sure to give thanks along with my prayers and supplications and trusting that "I could do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
Today was the test and Praise Jesus, Glory to God, The Holy Spirit was there with me the whole time and I passed it. I had people who knew me tell me how smart I was and how the test wouldn't be a problem for me...they didn't have a clue what a mental battle I was experiencing almost daily with anxiety and confussion.
It was Jesus, this experience just proves once again, in myself I am nothing, BUT, my God is a Wonderous, Mighty, Awesome, God.....and He LOVES me.
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”

Congratulations.
Testimonies to Gods help or faithfulness here are always encouraging.
Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.”
