To God be all the Glory! I just learned that I passed the North Carolina bar exam! I will post my pass letter in a separate post for those interested. But for now, I just want to take a moment to magnify His mighty name and to tell the world that GOD IS REAL and that HE cares for you.

Lord Jesus, I do not even know where to begin. Thank You Jesus for giving me the victory. When the world turned it's back on me and told me to give up, you gave me the will and the strength to persevere.

After failing the February bar exam, I felt defeated. Many talked about me and laughed when they heard that I had failed the exam. Some of my "friends" disappeared from my life. I felt defeated and alone. I felt like my life was over. Then You sent the angels to remind me of Your love for me.

Like never before, I was moved by Your unconditional love for me. During these trying times, many tried to discourage me from leaning on you and trusting your word. But I knew better. I knew that it was You who had helped me carry every cross and brought me every victory.

And so today, Lord, on this victorious day, I tearfully thank You for keeping Your word. I wish everyone could feel what I feel now. Thank you infant baby Jesus of Prague. Thank you Sacred Heart of Jesus. Thank you Saint Joseph of Cupertino. Thank you angels. Thank you, Granny. (I know that you are in heaven watching over me. I wish you were still here, but I know you are with me. Je t'adore!) Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord.

Friends, trust in the Lord for He is good. He will NEVER leave you or forsake you.

This is one of the best emails I have read! To GOD be the glory!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Well done and have a wonderful career! :)

I hope I pass too for CA. I aill pray to God. Please pray for me too!

Did you have a feeling you would pass?

May God help me too just like you and pass me in this CA bar exam this year!!!

Congratulations Prayerful!

Reading your email brought tears to my eyes, as I also failed the February bar exam and am prayerful that I passed this time.

Your faith in God is beautiful and so is your spirit.

May God continue to bless you in your career as an attorney and please continue to share his love with others.

God bless you.

Would you be nearly so righteous and prayerful if you had failed? I doubt it.

To the previous poster

Please speak for yourself. Do not come here attacking prayerful who has been a beautiful and supportive person. You don't deserve an answer and prayerful probably has to much class to respond to you, but I don't. Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Prayerful has posted several prayers here after failing and before passing this time. He/she has been strong, faithful and encouraging. How dare you question his/her sincerity? Your statement speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. Perhaps you failed and are bitter. God doesn't like bitter and angry people. Please deal with your issues and stop projecting. Congrats prayerful and rock on. You're awesome and you will do very well!

Y'Allah.

O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle --

. . . help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, . . . broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it . . . blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen

Congratulations Prayerful! I agree with the overwhelmingly positive comments above. You deserve the best. You have really inspired me. Many blessings!

That is wonderful news, Prayerful. I am so happy for you!!! Good luck to you, and know that you have a partner in God right here in NYC.

A scapegoat is my roommate;
I shall not want another like him
He maketh me lie down on the edge of the bed all night;
He getteth into my hair.
He gripeth my soul;
He leadeth me into the paths of boredom with his ancient jokes.

Yet, though I pay my part of the rent,
I fear not disturbance, for thou art with me;
Thy snoring and thy bragging discomforteth me.
Our cook prepareth a table for me in his presence,
And he gobbleth up all the food;
He anointeth his head with my oil;
My anger runneth over.

Surely to goodness, if this dumb cluck follows me
all the college days of my life,
I shall dwell in the nuthouse forever.

Congratulation Prayerful. Your post made me cry. I hope that God will allow me to have a similar victory in November. 2 Chronicles 15:7. God bless you in your future endeavors as an attorney.

Congratulations Prayerful. Your posts helped me so much during bar exam and have continued to help me while I wait. I hope to get the same news soon. If not, then its Gods will. Thank you for your posts.

God bless you and everyone here!

Thank God, I passed the FL bar exam the second time around. Thank you Prayerful for your prayers and your faith. I often returned to your prayer while I awaited my results and it gave me strength. I also felt defeated when I failed the bar exam in February. But I continued to praise and thank God anyway, because I knew that God wanted me to learn something from the experience and I learned so much about faith in the face of failure. I learned that being an attorney is not about me but about God's purpose. It's about helping others, not about making a lot of money or having the ability to buy material things.

I want to encourage all of you who are still waiting for your bar exam results and those who you who have failed the bar exam. Believe in yourself and believe in God, because you can and will pass the bar exam.

I thought I failed again this time. One of my essays I did not know the rules that applied and just wrote anything I could think of closely related to that subject. I guessed on many of the MC Q's. But still I passed! Praise God!

I will be praying for those of you who are still waiting on your results and in the meantime, keep the faith!

Dear Tearful:

This wait is terrible. However, I believe God has already spoken VICTORY. Faith without works is DEAD, and I think we ALL put in work. Congrats to you, and Thank you GOD for victory.

What state are you? I a IL and the anxiety is killing norso as I recieved a letter from my processor last Monday stating that there was still an outstanding response from one of my employers.

I pray God grant us success

Sorry for the typos part of the anxiety and could not edit

I am in Texas. I have been searching for the National Mean for the MBE to see if the test was actually as difficult nationally as people thought.

Although I do not know or cannot figure out the average yet, but from the scores posted by people it seems the MBE scores are not bad taking into consideration how difficult it was and how people complained.

the legal profession needs...a bunch of Christian wackos. Swell.

Well it definitely doesn't need a bunch of super A type non compassionate schmucks that join the profession just to make money either. I think a client would rather have a christian wacko than someone like that. And please take that how you want to.

I'm in Florida. We received our results yesterday online. I'm still waiting for my scores, but I passed both the FL part (Day One) and the MBE so I know my scaled scores were at least 136 on both exams.

Even though I didn't know the law on one of my essays, I still passed the FL test, so blowing one essay will not determine whether or not you passed the bar exam.

I just starting writing whatever rules I knew about that topic. The one I didn't know was a combination Property/Contracts essay. The fact pattern was about a real estate sale where the buyer found out after the purchase that there was a bad sewage problem and there was also an easement issue as well as recording statute issue. I don't even remember everything that was on there. I discussed real covenants, misrepresentation, fraud, things that really weren't the main issues, but I still passed, so you can blow one essay and still pass I guess.

When I get my scores I'll have a better idea of why I passed, but I was certain that I had failed. The MBE Q's were very hard and I guessed on a lot of the FL MC Q's.

So, let me get this straight -- there are only two types of people that are attorneys out there, Christian wacko zealots or greedy, super type-A, non compassionate schmucks. That's phenomenal, you must have done really well in law school.

First, those two types you described aren't as dichotomic as they seem. There are plenty of Christian wacko zealots who are also greedy, super type-A, non compassionate schmucks. Check your local Midwest or Rocky Mountain super-church; greed and a lack of compassion are the normative standard.

Second, I tend to agree with your assessment that the legal profession doesn't need anymore the greedy...people in it. That, of course, has absolutely no bearing on whether it DOES need religious wacko zealots. I'll stick by my assertion that the legal profession, and humanity in general for that matter, doesn't.

Finally, I dispute your conclusion that a client would rather have a Christian than the greedy....lawyer. Clients want one thing - to win. "Turn the other cheek" isn't exactly about winning, nor is "blessed are the meek, poor, et al." Try using your religion as your justification for not getting your client absolutely as much money as possible in your next settlement. "I didn't want to be greedy"...hmmm...somehow I don't think that's what the Ethics Board has in mind.

I prayed to be given the knowledge to pass the bar, but then I realized that Jesus doesn't work that way, so I cheated on the bar exam and then prayed for forgiveness.

This is just to give thanks to the Almighty. I got my IL bar exam results today and I passed. I was a repeat taker and a foreign licensed attorney. God is great and the Lord is good. I know the legal job market is tough now for attorneys and I knw the cahllenges I have faced getting a permenent job even with an honor certificate in a paralegal course, but I believe and I am trusting that the Lord who began the good work in me will bring it to completion. Amen. Thanks for starting this post. It is encouraging that you still find prayerful attorneys or attorneys to be. Good luck to those still waiting for reults.

Just wanted to tell those of you who are still awaiting your results that I am still praying with you. Please continue to believe. God is amazing! I read an article that convinced me that where God is concerned, it is never too late. You see, the bar scores in a particular jurisdiction had been released. All those whom failed probably thought it was all over. But then, a superior court judge basically ordered the bar examiners in that state to go back and change something (I don't remember what)about how the exam was graded. Anyway...this caused several who had failed the exam, to pass. (Do a Google search...) While it was alleged that the judge only acted to help his own daughter(who had failed the exam before his ruling) pass, is irrelevant to me. When God wants something for you, He will find a way to make it happen. So please don't stop praying. I am still praying with you and believing that God will bring you the victory, just as He did for me! To God be All the glory!!!

Thank you, Prayerful. I am continuing to pray for my own bar passage. With God, everything is possible!

What if u think u blew two essays? Can you still pass? I feel like I failed, even though I think I did fine on the other four. I think the MBEsare a crapshoot. I'm really nervous. Anyone have any experience with this? The wait is killing me.

What's wrong with you? Haven't you read the numerous above posters? With God (or G-D for our top hat/black trenchcoat friends), anything and everything is possible. It doesn't matter if you totally blew two essays. In fact, it doesn't matter if you left the entire test booklet blank. If God wants you to pass, you will pass! Rejoice, for He (She? It? Them?) truly is great!!!

What's wrong with me? That's not very nice. And not all of "top hat/black trench coat friends" wear top hats and black trench coats...some of us wear jeans and tshirts and are called Jews. I appreciate the words of encouragement, but I really don't think leaving an entire test booklet blank means you still have a shot at passing the bar. I do believe G-D plays a part, but we play a part too. I was simply hoping someone has had a similar experience so that I may feel better.

God has blessed you! Congrads! More bless are to come to his faithful servants.

You are right, when we are put in trials we tend to think that the Lord Jesus has forsaken us but after we pass our test of faith we become stronger and better people. Glory to him. Having faith in his in not something that we know on our own, it IS HIM who reveals it to us.

Congrads again!

The wait is killing me too. I got an email from westlaw about a free CLE, and I never got that type of email before, so it sent me to this crazy, "is this a sign I passed" type deal. I hate it!

*sigh* sarcasm is simply lost on some people...the beanie must not let it through.

What a horrible thing to say

I love Jewish people! I was born and raised in New York. I am very familiar with Jewish culture. Although I am a Christian, I am praying for a Jewish husband because I am very attracted to Jewish men. Most of the ones I have met are smart, funny, caring, and I could go on and on... I am saddened by the fact that there are so many ignorant people on the board. I guess it is a microcosm of what's out there.

Oh, about people feeling like they failed, I think it is normal to feel this way. It doesn't matter how strong your faith is, you can't help the way you feel. Fortunateley, God won't fault you for it. So long as you keep praying, you are showing Him that you are faithful. It is faith that moves God. I went over my answers in my head so many times and I was convinced I failed. But I kept praying even though at times I didn't want to pray any more. Sometimes I cried while I prayed. Sometimes, I just couldn't even say the words. Just keep praying and believing. God is faithful!

May Allah give me what he gave you Prayerful, one more month for NY results...
