As a Christian and a college student, it can be very easy to get caught up in your school and friends and lose sight of what really matters. There are times to where you feel that you are all alone and there is no one that can help you. Or maybe there are times that you want to give up, quit, and go back home. College can be very stressful and there is only one thing that can get you through college, as well as life, God. He always has encouraging words to get you through your everyday life, and as a college student it can be very easy to lose sight on God.

Weak?

Lonely?
