I’m starting to wish I hadn’t taken that practice LSAT yesterday.  It’s got me so down and so disheartened about whether I can do well enough to get in anywhere.  I realize it’s the adversary making me feel this way, which does help me know that this is an okay path for me to take.  If it weren’t an okay path for me to take, Satan wouldn’t be trying so hard to make me give it up.  I suspect that’s why I’ve found it so difficult to concentrate on studying today.  My parents picked me up yet another study book today and I’ve had such a hard time concentrating on it.  Prior to yesterday’s practice test, I was feeling so good about it.  But now that I’ve taken the practice test and it went so poorly…I’ve just been so disheartened about it.  It doesn’t feel like a stupor of thought.  It feels like Satan’s trying to get at me.  The feelings of inadequacy I have aren’t coming from my Heavenly Father – that much I know.  I’m going to pray about it tonight and hope that tomorrow’s a better day.  I think it will be – I always leave church on Sundays feeling better emotionally than I did when I went in.
