May you be inspired to give 100% of your effort for even a 1% chance of success. Bless the world with your determination and receive God's reward in

Malachi 3:10 Put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, I will open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.

MY CHILDREN NEED PRAYERS
