We must pray for God's will be done. God teaches us things when he answers and doesn't answer our prayers. Remain faithful to the LORD and he will bless you and your family! Pray to God the Father in Jesus' name. Ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray for you and guide you. She loves you and all of us very much as our Spiritual Mother! God bless.

God does not answer every prayer, does that mean that the person asked too much?
God looks at what we are asking and the thorns that plague us though sometimes we do not know what we are asking. Are we trying to fulfill someone else's life, when their train had already gone and they are living through us?
Is it an abomination to fail a test of academia when what it means is: 1) My child did not do so well and it reflects badly on the parent thus the anger that stems from pride
2) My child might have a hard life in future because people place a lot on those papers.
If you let go of the world and it's worries, where would you be?
Is pleasing men your number one priority or is it following the Shepherd who never left? He did not leave while we were yet sinners ... .... how many people have failed you when you stumbled? (Oh you are not good enough for me!)
Seek him with all your heart, soul and might and place no one before him. Lean not unto your own understanding for surely this is not a battle of flesh and blood.

Praying with faith simply means believing that God CAN do something.... it doesn't mean He WILL do it just because we ask. God will always do His part, but He will never do our part. If you don't study, He won't give you the information and you can't expect God to make you do perfectly well in every subject because that would make you God. Disappointment is part of life. Maybe you were praying for a good grade and He was trying to teach you humility instead. I'm sorry you are hurting, but don't blame God. Hang in there

God is not a wishing well, someone you call up to give you the six lotto numbers or to have that hunky guy two rows down to fall in love with you.
I pray for things of importance: salvation and guidance.
The rest is up to me. If I need to pass that test, then it is my responsibility to prepare for it.

My question for you would be. Did you prepare for the test or just pray that God would help you pass?

I presume you can re-take the test. Study hard,and when you pray ask God to bring things to your rememberance.

my advice to you is this
Dont do this:
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:5
King James Version
Do This:
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:6
King James Version
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Matthew 6:7
Dont use vain repetition when you pray
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Matthew 6:8
King James Version

First, you need to spend time studying. Study to show yourself approved; a workman that needs not be ashamed. Once you've studied, you can trust it will come back to your remembrance.
The best way to tell your Mom is to simply come right out & face up to it...& to study for your next test.

The old saying: The Lord helps those who help themselves-rings true. You need to do your part before the Lord can do his.
