Yeah, I know that this is a selfish prayer, but I need y'all to pray for me as I start memorizing my piano piece for Fine Arts(Well Ive got bits and pieces in my head.). The piece is 5 pages long and really longer than anything else that I have played.
The reason Im making a thread for this is because Doubt(One of Satan's demons) attacked me(Okay that sounds really cheesy and very Pilgrim's Progressy, but it illustrates my point.). Doubt is very real thing and it can come upon anyone at any time which will hinder any progress they may have made and are going to make. I made the mistake of letting it in and then I had a really low point that made me think, "What are you crazy trying to memorize all of this?! You might as well just quit right now!" But luckily my parents caught me to think otherwise. Ive been playing for 8 years and other the years, it gets really tough and more stressful. Other the years most of what I hear from my piano teachers is just criticism and hardly any encouragement(Don't worry they are Christians, I know that they think well of me, and I can understand the criticism because it's their job. However, I would like some encouragement to keep me going.)
Thus brings me to my request for you guys. I want you guys to pray for me that I may not be overcome with doubt(That I can be assured in my piano playing through God's help.) and that I can hopefully memorize my whole piece the best I can. It's not going to be perfect, but Im going to try anyway.
Pray for me.

Some of my favorite scriptures.
Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
