Dear God,
I just started a new chapter in my life: COLLEGE!! It's been so great to dive into studying the Bible; I have been learning a ton! It's amazing to see the Bible from a different perspective and to learn more about who You are, God. Thank You for this opportunity You've given me to study! I am so privileged to be able to study at a Christian college.
Even in the midst of this huge blessing, things have been difficult for me. I don't know if every college student faces these when they first start college, but I have been overwhelmed with feelings of loneliness, and feelings that I won't be able to make it through all of these new changes. I know I am not alone, and I know that You have put me here for a reason, but sometimes it's hard to really believe it.
Abba, Father, I've been struggling! I need strength to make it through. I need discernment regarding my schedule, what I decide to do/not to do. I need friends! But most of all I need YOU! More and more of YOU.
Today I came to the song "Give me Jesus" and it was just what I needed to hear. Though I feel like everything is difficult right now, Jesus, YOU are enough to sustain me. Yes, friends are good. Yes, knowledge is good, but God I need YOU to survive and really get through this and really grow!
Though this is a jumbled mess of thoughts and prayers, God I know You hear me! I pray that as I seek to know You better and seek to learn from You, that you would grow in me and help me to realize how much I really am dependent on You, even just to breathe one breath of air.
With Love,
Your Secret Admirer
