Frequently Asked Questions
Isn't seeking focus and success in online classes an arrogant request, implying I don't have enough trust in God's plan?+
No, seeking focus and success in online classes is seeking God's wisdom and provision in our endeavors, as Romans 8:28 says, 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.'
How do I know if my lack of focus is because of laziness or a genuine struggle?+
We all struggle with motivation and focus at some point. Remember that God disciplines those he loves, so it's possible it's an area where you need growth, as Hebrews 12:11 says, 'No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.'
If I pray for success in my online classes, do I need to pray for other students to fail?+
No, we can pray for our own success and wisdom without wishing harm on others. Ask that we would be good servants to one another, even in online classes, as Ephesians 4:31-32 says, 'Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.'
