Ben Carson: The Lord Helped Me Pass My Chemistry Exam (Oct. 16, 2002)

In October 2002, Dr. Ben Carson -- renowned pediatric neurosurgeon and author -- came to Charlie's table to discuss his recent bout with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Here, he discusses his faith, and tells Charlie the story of the time he prayed for help passing a chem exam. "Lord, I always thought you wanted me to be a doctor, but if I fail chemistry, that is OUT," he recalls thinking. The full interview can be found at www.charlierose.com

    God did the same thing for me on my biochemistry final back in premed. I fell behind so badly and I was sure I wasn't going to do well at all. I prayed to God and said God I shall trust in You, please help me God only you can... the last three days before the exam, I felt like my brain was suddenly working amazingly, like I've became a genius and everything was going in my brain and I was able to study actually 10 hours those days and I got a 92 on that final. It was so miraculous that I had to tell people it was all God, because my own self could have never eever ever done that. All glory to God.

    @@BradVicious There was no way I was going to cram and do that well, especially on biochsmistry, but it was really a miracle that my brain suddenly gained such clarity and capacity to do all that studying in such small amount. I was constantly one of the lowest in that class, so to suddenly jump to being the best score in the finals exam is a miracle. Maybe its being humble, but no, I don't think I am that smart. It is still a miracle how Ive come this far. I am in medical school now, surrounded by geniuses, which convinces me further that I'm really not remarkable. You can believe it or not, but this is my experience. I do believe there is a higher power that has helped me all this time.

    Amen brother..or sister, I’ve had similar experiences in 3rd year med school where I was simply straight going to fail if it wasn’t for God’s miracle “they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ For the others, you might not understand it unless you go through it, but everything has been given to us by God, wisdom as well. We give all glory to God because we recognize that everything has been given to us for a purpose.

    Amen! I passed my biochemistry class because of GOD. I tried my best on my exams but I did not do as well I as I had hoped on my exams. Then when the final was coming along I needed a high enough percentage to pass the class. I was worried I would fail but then I decided to have more faith so I prayed to GOD for help because I knew I could not do this alone. I asked and asked. I put the exam on HIS hands and trusted in HIM. Ultimately, with GOD I did really well on the final and passed the class because of HIM. Jesus Christ is Lord.

    This reminds me of back when I was in nursing school and this clinical instructor was doing everything in her power to fail me. I too was also from the inner city, I had gotten accepted into this nursing program. I was the only latin woman in our class. I did feel insecure at the time as if I’m not good enough to be in the program and my clinical instructor picked up on that. From then on I started to pray to God every day to help me pass my course so that I could graduate. Low and behold my class stood up for me and went against the instructor. They reported her to the dean and told him that her treatment of me was not right. The clinical instructor was demoted and that same summer I was walking down the aisle with my diploma in hand. I could have sworn I was going to fail but God had other plans for me. God is amazing and we underestimate his power.

    @@BradVicious Honey, of course it was God. I prayed that he help me graduate every single day I was in that program. That clinical instructor was on a mission to fail me. Nursing is dog eat dog. My classmates didn’t have to stick up for me. Actually a lot of them were convinced that my fate was sealed and that I was going to fail. Until one day, one girl. I will never forget this blondie. I know it was God that touched her heart and she rallied all of my classmates and told them that they need to speak up for me because my clinical instructor was acting very foul towards me. They then spoke to the dean and he had to demote her to a lesser position. I’m telling you, it was God I felt it in my heart. He is very real.

    I resonate with this story. I’m currently an undergrad with hopes of going to Dental school. And just like med school general chemistry and organic chemistry are required prerequisites. Organic Chemistry was my worst course. Drawing structures, reaction mechanisms, breaking and forming bonds. It was just so confusing. I had already attempted and dropped the course twice. This was my third try and if I didn’t pass I was going to forget about going to dental school. There was 2 midterm exams and 1 final exam. You had to pass 2 exams to pass the course. I passed the first midterm with an 83%, and failed the second midterm which meant I had to pass the final. The content that was going to be on the final was the content that I found most difficult. If I failed the second midterm with easier content, there was literally no way I could pass the final which had tougher content. No matter how hard I studied, I couldn’t get the hang of it. I began to lose hope, so I stopped studying and I prayed that God would perform a miracle and allow me to pass. I went to sleep, woke up and studied a bit more before the exam. In the exam hall I prayed right before starting the exam. During the exam, I felt like I guessed most of the questions. And after the exam I genuinely thought I failed. However, I received my final mark for organic chem yesterday and it turns out I passed with a decent mark. The only way I could’ve passed this course was by God’s grace. He answered my prayers.

    The good lord did the same for me on my biology exam. I was sick with a debilitating illness for days up until the night before the exam. I realized that i couldnt learn all of this information in one night and prayed to the lord that he gives me divine assistance to do well exam. My goal before i got sick was to get a 90 on the exam so i could raise my term grade to an A but after getting sick I was just hoping to pass. i took the exam, despite not knowing an alarming amount of the questions, i felt a deep sense of peace and no anxiety whatsoever. I got a 93 and finished the semester with an A. I know for a fact the lord assisted me during that exam. I thank him everyday.
