Praying for success on the CPA exam (How to Pray)
How to Pray - Method & Technique of Effective Prayer
I pray for a lot of things. The CPA exam is not an exception. How do I pray? I fall short on how I should pray. It is easy to think that there is no method or technique to prayer. Why should there be a method or technique to prayer? Well, I think it is because prayer is a very important undertaking. Most, if not all, important undertakings have method or technique that needs to be followed for successful completion. Let’s take the CPA exam, for example. There are between 25 and 40 pages on the method or technique to successfully prepare for the exam in any of my Wiley CPA books; Gleim has a whole book called a System for Success. This covers the content on the CPA exam, the approximate percentages of coverage on the exam, suggested time table for studying, approximate hours per study unit or topic, how much sleep you need, where to sleep the day before the exam, how to guess during the exam, how to eliminate distractions, whether to appeal a score or not, what to eat on the day of the exam, what to wear, how to call for help if your computer acts up,… and so on and so forth. This is only guidance on how you should prepare when you come before the AICPA to take their exam!
How much more do you need to prepare as you come before God! How much more should you know on how best to present yourself to Him! How much more should you know the content specification outline for addressing God! How much more should we know what areas to focus! Dr. Gary Reimers of Bob Jones University addresses the question of how one should pray. What should be your demeanor when you pray? What should you focus on? What are the things that should be in your prayer? How elaborate should you be? Here has some interesting illustrative stories. I enjoy listening to the sermons even though I don’t belong to that church. I learn a lot, and I get inspired. You may learn something. You may be inspired.
Here is the sermon for those who are interested. (This is only 30 minutes long.)
Here is a listing of (all) his sermons to those who would like some more.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you found that helpful.
