It's certainly that time in the semester where I realize it's going to be a sink or swim situation with my classes. The past two weeks have been some of the hardest in my whole college career. I've been through fights with friends, hours of crying due to my Anatomy class, family issues and above all, I am just so tired. My brain is tired, my body is tired, and I just need to get through this semester with a decent gpa.

What do I do when I feel so run down? How do I help myself? How do I help the people around me when they are as run down as I am? I call upon my Lord. I really don't know how people get through some things without praying. It's my only hope. When the rain is falling down,'and it's not just a drizzle, but a full on hurricane, I call upon my Father for shelter. In my world, there is no other way.

No matter what you're struggling with, you should know I'm praying for you. No matter if your problems are small, or so big you can't seem to hold yourself together, I am praying for you. Life is too hard not to have a Savior. My problems are small and meaningless compared to others. A friend of mine lost her grandfather this week. My problems are aunts to her elephant, but we both need an extra smile, hug, and prayer.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

1 Peter 5:6,7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Proverbs 16:3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.

As I go through the last three weeks of school, my goal is to pray every time I feel down, or hopeless. I will follow Him down whatever path he leads me.
