Prayer Request - Master's examinations
Hello all,
I don't post on here as much as I used to but I keep up 
I have a really important prayer request that I would love for you guys to say a prayer, hail mary or whatever 
For the last 5 years, I've been working on my Master's in English Literature. Started right after I got married (mistake!), through the birth of my daughter, a couple of relocations, etc.
I took the final exam (comprehensive exam) last fall but only passed half of it. I am retaking the part I missed this coming Friday starting at 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Please pray that I pass it. I have studied and feel good that I know the material. This test is basically sitting writing long papers for 8 hours with only a short break for lunch; 200 years of literature expected to know from memory. It's intense.
Each semester I don't pass it costs me between $2000-3000 in airfare from Guatemala, tuition costs, etc and most importantly, my life is basically on hold because every spare second is spent studying for this. My wife has been incredibly patient, but I know she's ready to have her husband back from the clutches of Shakespeare This is the very last step in me getting my Master's.
Just a little background to let you know I could really use your prayers! I will be traveling all day Thursday to get to Texas, but will have plenty of reading material to spend the layovers studying.
Thanks in advance. God bless.
