Confidence to DEPEND, DEFEND and ASCEND





Confidence = with faithfulness. Where we put our confidence is of utmost importance.  The latin root words for "con" means with, and "fidence" is a derivative of fidiles or faithfulness, so we put them together and get confidence.

Thinking of all those retaking the bar exam. It is key to have perspective, as well as to give preparation your utmost. Confidence in Christ's good and great plans for your life is a great place to begin the exam. Dependence on His wisdom, plus the discernment and knowledge gifts you've been given are wonderful assets, to be used, never to be overlooked. DEPEND, DEFEND and ASCEND jumping over the bar exam process, for His glory and your best.

Perspective Gaining and Maintaining
Job 42: 2 "I know You can do everything and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You."
Matthew 21:21-22 So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith ad do not doubt you will not only do what was done to the go tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea;' it will be done. And whatever things you ask in prayer believing, you will receive."
Psalm 31:14-15a "But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say;, "You are my God." My times are in Your hand;"

CONFIDENCE is the heart of belief. Where you place your confidence will determine where you place your faith. Confidence=with faithfulness
Psalm 118:8-9
"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes."

Contrastingly, a lack of confidence=without faithfulness in God breeds fear and insecurity.
2 Timothy 1:6 "For God has not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

Father of all justice, law and freedom, the One who is the lover of our souls, Savior from all sin and who tests our faith that we may see Your faithfulness abound, it is to You we come to form and inform this prayer. Please build the faith of Your believing, future attorneys as they take and re-take the bar exam. Please allow them to demonstrate their excellence in understanding the questions, answering them clearly and heighten their recall and recognition of key principles throughout. Allow them to shine for You, sense Your presence and pass this exam. There are those believers who deeply seek to follow You and serve You in this profession. You know them one by one. May they feel Your strength of mind, and pass this exam with excellence.Please, continue to build them into the men and women who will please Your heart and serve others in the name of Jesus and for His sake. We ask these things in the matchless name of Jesus, pray peace to Israel and plead for bar passage excellence. Thank You. Amen.
