Hello all :)

I would love some prayers. I am going to have a driving lesson tomorrow. It is in a car that I'm not used to driving. In my previous experiences of driving this car I have not done a good job with it especially as I tend to stall it. I am nervous. I need to do a good drive and be ready for sitting my actual driving test in 6 weeks with only two lessons beforehand.

Another thing is I need a vehicle. There is couple of possibilities at this stage but Dad who oversees my buying of a car is negative about them.

Thank you for your prayers. May the Lord God help me.

Have a great day. Regards Hannah

I know how nerve racking it can be. I don't drive in part of eye sight but also due to fear... I realized after 20 years it came from when I was in elementary school. My mom had dropped me off at school. Close to the house a guy ran a stop sign and hit her. She had back and neck pain and ultimately got hook on narcotics for it... Point being that I had blamed myself for the accident as kid, and from that moment on guess developed a fear of getting behind the wheel. Like I would get panic attacks and such, and had convinced myself I could never forgive myself if I was responsible for hurting another driver..

I know kinda just ranted but your prayer kinda made me think of that. I've been slowly telling myself that it's okay and that I could do it. I'm really thinking about going to take my test. Had a lot of practice as I drive a golf cart for work. I mean if I can drive in a parking lot in a golf cart, surely I can drive a car. At least, I've been trying to convince myself that. But I pray for your test and that you're able to pass! Also pray for the situation with your dad. God will work that out in His timing.

Father, I pray for Hannah, that you will give her perfect calmness, during the time she is driving and during her test, give her the assurance that all is well, and help her confidence to build, give her your peace that passes understanding, and give the angels charge over her to keep her safe in all her ways, we give you praise for hearing our prayers, Amen
Hannah, driving a car is similar to riding a bicycle, once you learn how, you will not forget!!

I guess you drive stick? I've never driven stick but that's usually what my friends who do said they used to stall out the car sometimes.....

Relax, you will be fine, I was very nervous when I first started driving around 15, so much that I would sweat, and get dry mouth lol.....It's a big step but the Lord is with you, initially you may be nervous but after a while it becomes second nature....I've been driving for 11 years now lol....you can do it!

All right I had my lesson yesterday. I handled the car better didn't stall too much. Not far away from sitting my test maybe 2 more lessons. The driving instructor was nice and easy with me. Praise the Lord! Thank you for all the prayers :)
