the best Physics professor

Today, God really proved to me that He is the best teacher.

I'm in Physics 105, and it's a hard class. I'm one of few freshmen in this class.  Most of the other students in the class are juniors and seniors taking the class to finish their majors, and I'm here taking it for a general.

We have homework assignments due every Tuesday and Thursday night.
There is a Physics Tutorial Lab available every day where students can come to get help on homework and with questions.

Last Tuesday, I went to the tutorial lab at 7:30pm and got home at 11pm.
On Thursday, I arrived at the lab at about 7:00pm and got home at 10:30pm.
And I'm not slacking off at these labs.

That much being said, it takes about 3 1/2 hours to finish a homework assignment.  And that's when I'm surrounded by TAs and other students that I can get help from.

Today I had a test to take, and I was too tired to attend the tutorial lab.
I got home at about 7pm, showered, and sat down to do my Physics at about 10pm.

I felt overwhelmed.  I didn't want to be up until 2am finishing this assignment.
I prayed to my Heavenly Father.  I told him I would do his homework first if He would help me with the world's homework.

So I put away the Physics and got out my scriptures.
After doing my scripture study, I said another prayer asking Heavenly Father to please help me understand this homework.

I know that he understands Physics better than anybody--I mean, He created the earth, didn't He? He knows everything.  He knows this better than we could ever comprehend.

I started on the questions, and things began to pop into my mind that I never thought was possible.

I started the homework at 10:30pm, and finished at 11:50pm.

I know that the Lord will help us if we do our part first.
He will never let us down.

And oh yeah--Heavenly Father is definitely the best Physics professor ever. <3
